Gifting

A Poem by Chris Shaw
"

(For Jacob facing heart surgery today, Neville raising funds for his very poorly young niece and any other of my poetry friends in need of special thoughts, they are yours)

"
calm the lake this winter morning
low the stare of watery sun
regal are the six swans gliding
graceful willow trees glance on
for my friends my thoughts are given
for the trials that they might face
on their days throughout their living
grant them wisdom strength and faith

I didn't know about Jacob or Neville's niece, so this loving tribute was a surprise ..

I join you and the many others in wishing them both well and send positive vibes out to both families ♥

Then you had a real treat to look at. Such beautiful creatures they are.
What a cherished, beautiful gift you offer sir Jacob. Very touching and full of hope. I prayed for him. He is a special poet.
God be with him...
