the child, new
young voice singing, cries
raining smiles, spilling laughter
into the breath-held
air, opening hands
rising and shining anew
Using the Secret Keeper’s words this week:
YOUNG | RAIN | LAUGH | ROSE | HAND
Celebrating the birth of my grandnephew, the first of the next generation.

Congratulations! And what a perfect way to bring him into the world. This is beautiful. I almost see old and young in the same image (as we see with newborns) 💜
