TRUST

Sometimes I feel like I’m holding a little bird
Fragile yet certain.
Melding into my palm…delicate and restless.
Lucas is slowly sealing within himself the foundation of trust.
He allows me to stroke his satin skin and fine growing hair.
He slowly surrenders to slumber in my arms.
Head against my chest.
He is learning love.
Trust…once it permanently etches itself into his soul will allow him to learn to build
friendships and deeper relationships.
Yes, he will have to learn how to discern these relationships over his lifetime.
But for now, he simply receives the love of his family.
Sweet and indelible.
What a miracle to watch God’s plan in sweet slow-motion snippets of time.
