A Living Kiss

Into the nursery and
gently over the cradle
God gave me a kiss
a living kiss

My baby soul stirred
raised hungry lips
to the kissed baby skin
and drank a river
patient and deep

I have been His
for the keeping-
-for in all these
many changing years
the world has never
kissed me so
-Kat

Surely your goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the LORD forever. Psalm 23:6 (NIV)


Poem written on April 5th of this year as my present to the Lord on my birthday. He has loved me so well on my journey.
