Treasures Along the Way

Hot chocolate on a cold morning
makes one wish we could all gather around
a glowing fireplace
and share our deepest thoughts

Singing by the piano with those I love
is pure delight.
Little baby, seeing my hands on the keys,
with a curious and focused gaze
is indescribable in its imprint on my soul

Spending time with precious ones we love
Brings a warmth that is set in the hallowed halls of our minds
and we know this memory will never leave

Oh, to see the world through a baby’s eyes!
Every single thing is new and magical!
Even the most mundane rises to a place of meaning-
thank you, dear one!

What a precious gift!
A baby in our lives again!
Our baby’s baby sharing her beautiful gifts
with us-
Leaves me breathless, gazing into her innocence

Family and friends who send and give
their love,
Such a sacred thing to me-
fills me with gratitude and deep warmth

Music prepares my soul for this precious place
of receiving and giving pure love
How blessed am I to be inside that
harmonic realm!

These words flow from the deepest place
These gifts are so fine, create a tremble
in my soul
Music, sweet baby, family, friends, love and peace

And so, in the end, the “material” things fade away-
for nothing can compare to that holy thing
of deep love given freely

Take it all in, share it now
It flows over into that vast world
In which we live
Somehow in ways we don’t understand-
Love given in our little private world
Is contagious and spreads over the land
