Enfolding

Grandpa has a handful now, to pray for and to add,
A little bit of sweetness to the prayer he sends for Dad.
His son has left a gift behind, to hold a place for him,
And keep the heart lines open while he does a chore for them.

Everybody’s thoughts are for the one who isn’t there,
But clearly in this picture there is not a lack of care.
This child is safely held within strong hands with tender grace,
That pray to have the same thing for his son, another place.

We’d like to take a moment to assist them in their cares,
And add our grateful voices to the chorus of their prayers.
Lord, hold the child and man within your strong enfolding arm,
And keep them in your thoughts as you protect them both from harm.

Thank you for the "Enfolding" poem and the tender graphic.

I am all misty-eyed about it . . .

Add my grateful voice.
