Secure and resting in His lap,
Breathe in His presence so divine.
No other place is so serene,
Where Father, child intertwine.

So close with head upon His chest,
Such strong aroma emanates
From One so loving, beautiful,
Low burdened soul, scent satiates.

Inhale His fragrance like perfume,
‘Tis such a heavenly bouquet.
Breathe in the balm of the Supreme,
Refreshing as a rose sachet.

With eloquence, He speaks aloud,
Expresses with assuring tone.
Inhale His words of hope so true
And strength for what is yet unknown.

Give ears to gentle, soothing voice
And hear Him promises disclose.
With words so sweet upon His breath,
Brings soul to genuine repose.

His arms provide tranquility,
Breathe in the calm of warm embrace.
His tender touch so delicate,
Such comfort in this healing place.

All snuggled up in Father’s arms,
Such smells so sweet draw child close.
He knows this time with Him is what
His dear creation needs the most.

What beauiful imagery! Safe in our Father's lap, enfolded in His arms. Amen.

A beautiful entry. Written in anapesic dimeter, it follows and beats a rhythm nearly perfectly, the message is wonderfully presented. I hope the judges recognize great poetry.

This is really neat. After reading, I thought of your title and how well that went with being snuggled in Father's care, and that would be such a heavenly bouquet. Really nice! God bless ya, littlelight

Your rhythm and rhyme are near perfect. Lovely.
Debbie Sickler11/03/05
This was so beautifully written. When are you moving to Intermediate to give us real Beginners a chance at placing??? :)Just kidding, but seriously, great job.
Garnet Miller 11/03/05
You've expressed my feelings exactly. Being in the Savior's presence is hard to describe because it is so awe inspiring. Thanks you for putting into words, what the heart experiences when it is touched by Him:)
Jeffrey Snell11/03/05
Very comforting poem! A few lines seem to have sacrificed a little clarity for meter, but that's the balancing act of writing poetry. Good effort!
Shari Armstrong 11/03/05
Wonderful imagery -reminds me of the times curled up in my earthly Dad's lap as a child. Sometimes we need reminded we can do that with our heavenly Dad, too :)
Crista Darr11/03/05
Written with love by one who has been there - in the comfort of his embrace. Beautiful.

So beautifully perfect to touch the need in my life right now.

I'm going to run this off for my mom if you don't mind. (with all pertinate info, of course - and it would stay with her. Unless it's in a book already that I can purchase?)

Thank you so much my Laurie friend.
Pam Carlson-Hetland06/05/08
Oh, Laurie, yes - this is what I needed. And the Lord knows His creation needs Him. Thank you, dear friend!
Randy Foncree09/02/08
Sounds like a great place for those of us who have suffered shattered and broken lives that God has to mend with the healing sauve of His presence. This is a great testimony to the goodness and provision of God. Thanks for sharing it, and well written too...In Christ, Randy Gene
