Palms and Wings

Regarding "Palms and Wings"

It was only when
Seeing my granddaughter
Cradling and
Preserving the little
White form in her
Palms that
I realized the
Overwhelming
Power and meaning
Of the Gospel’s
Call to become as
If a little child.
The purity of her
Innocence
At the moment
Of showing me the
Butterfly was
Absolutely
Staggering…
Until I realized
The butterfly was
Also showing me my
Granddaughter.

Could
Tiny white wings
E’er be held
By more
Protective
Palms?

Could
Little palms e’er
Be anointed
By wings
With a lighter
Balm?

Could
More innocent
Palms e’er
Keep white
Wings safe from
Harm?

Could
More attentive
Wings e’er
Cherish
A small child’s
Psalm?
