Speak to me of oceans deep
of harbors safely keeping me
safe within rocky shores
crashing waves reaching more
of what I yearn to be and so
speak to me of oceans deep
Speak to me of waterfalls high
emptying into pools that sigh
touching swift my plaintive soul
crying out to search and more
of what I yearn to be and so
speak to me of waterfalls high
Speak to me of birthing waters
releasing life on which I falter
a gift her soul touching on mine
my inkwell ready to pen her lines
her life connects to me and so
speak to me of birthing waters

I think I felt inspired after all as I have had some really down days after surgery which they tell me is common. I almost was not here to see her and am amazed every day. Thank you and Hugs!

Got your comment and I thank you. I am still recuperating from surgery and finding that as with most major surgeries it will take time but feeling better each day. Making the change to renting is a transition but this is my life now and I am here to enjoy the little one and lucky to be. Love and Hugs to you Sue
