Sometimes a poem is needed


 When I sat down to write my blog, something kept telling me to go look at my book of the poems of Jessica Powers and this is what I want to share with you today: 

I Hold My Heart As A Gourd

"I hold my heart as a gourd filled with love,

ready to pour upon humanity,.....


I hold my heart as a gourd ready to pour

upon all those who live.

Not that I see each one as come from God 

and to my soul His representative,

but that God inhavits what He loves

and what His love sustains, and hence I see

in each soul that may brush against my soul

God Who looks out at me."
