Comfort Quilt

That you could hear a song
on a light summer’s breeze
and have it set your wild heart
to a comforting ease,

that you could catch a scent
of spring in the air,
the rainforest essence
of my glory, my hair,

that the Spirit of God
would whisper my name,
a gentle voice in your ear
that will always remain,

I would rise up early
to greet a beautiful new world,
wrapped in a comfort quilt
sewn alone for this girl.

My fingertips tremble
like the muscle in my chest
to think of the beauty
that awaits me and rest,

finally, the rest,

the rest I’ve waited for
so very, very long,
a comfortable silence --
the heart of our song.

How wonderful to be so warmly wrapped up in God's comfort quilt always. Thank you for sharing this heartfelt beauty and love with us, our precious sister, Treava. You are one of our most delightful treasures here in FW. God bless!

This is exquisite... just like you! You are a treasure, and someone will come to wrap you in a 'comfort quilt' and cherish you. Your writing is so beautiful, even more so because it is written from your heart. With love, Peg
