A Heavenly Scene


The picture expanded to fill my screen,

Then came this heavenly scene:

The sleepy-eyed-beauty of a mother,

A babe cradled in lap wishing to be with no other.  

Five daughters surrounding this woman, 

No physical boundaries, as though not even human.  

Their bed as a backdrop and throne--

Billowing bodily halos in a cloudy white tone.

Sharing words, drizzled with giggles.

Constant motion only to be described as wriggling wiggles.

I silently honored my sister--

Respect and awe to her and her mister.  

Five beautiful girls.  

Five shining sweet girls.  

No wonder, 

With she as their mother.
