Ramie's day
Ramie's day
Conceived in covenant.
Formed by mighty hands in the darkness.
A hope for a life
of giggles and smiles, of laughter and joy, story telling,
and wonder.
What joy and wonder as she arrives
Little hands and feet, a smile so sweet.
With pain and sorrow
a troubled heart,
a year, a week, a day or two.
Now she is on streets of gold.
In the nail pierced hands.
No pain or sorrow can touch her now.
She waits with him
for others coming.
A hope for a life
of giggles and smiles, of laughter and joy, story telling,
and wonder.
