Day 12: 12th April, 12th Poem.
Can't believe I'm keeping up with the challenge. This poem is a little reflection on life in our large family.
There were many times when we were in need and the right item just "turned up". It was amazing , well , miraculous really.
Coats
The winter - cold - children growing fast
Coats not fitting - money short - a silent prayer.
Next morning early - on the doorstep
A black bag - future hope.
With expectant gratitude, we crowd around the gift-
Ah, shoes for the youngest - and - trousers for the boys
And - wait - yes, two coats for the girls
Just the right size - in favourite colours.
It continues to surprise,
Divine providence
