A Tender Moment


Today let us think
Of tenderness

An infant touch
Of cheek

The merest touch
Of lips along
A rising breast

The enfoldment
In the christening shawl

My hand supports
Your head

I feel the rising
Of your  cry.

Come O Holy Spirit
Fill the hearts of the faithful
With a tenderness of love.

No fire needed.
