Dearest Momma, Fair and Gazing
(Joshua’s Silent Song)
Dearest Momma, fair and gazing,
Fiery heart, burning, blazing,
Searing love that’s so amazing,
Brilliant as the sun.
Godly tenderness your weaving,
Dismal burdens so relieving,
Open arms for me receiving,
So to you I run.
Constantly of mind to hear me,
Yearning sense for posture near me,
Ever vigilant to cheer me
If my day is dark.
A chin is lifted from below,
A soothing balm your child to know,
A fire kindled, soft the glow
Begun by you, the Spark.
Though all my days are swift and sure,
There is a tone that hearkens pure,
The all-enticing choral lure,
Sounding from above me.
To this truth I’m ever clinging,
Resonates the seraphs’ singing.
Goodness unpolluted bringing,
When you say you love me!
Say it again, Momma.
very nice here and especially the last stanza. i’m familiar with joshua, but not overpowering in regards to his life. i spent most of my time in psalms and proverbs. they are my two faves.
Actually, Joshua is my 12 year old son. This is meant to be from his perspective as a toddler. I’d have to agree, Pslams is a favorite. It is the ultimate prayer/hymnbook of the Church! It says everything in poetic style that we only wish we could conjur.
just lovely…catching up on reading posts today, glad I checked my email and caught this gem 🙂
Glad you liked it. Enjoy your day.
