Pocket-size Love

Blessed are You,
Lord our God,
King of the Universe,
for pocket-size love—
3am conversations,
fuzzy blankets,
quiet mornings,
little faces.

Blessed are You
for dessert and coffee,
anything that warms my feet,
the delight of creating,
and a sigh of acceptance
as I nightly surrender to my pillow.

Blessed are You,
Lord our God,
King of the Universe,
for honest friends
affirming my humanity
by baring theirs,
and for soul sisters
whose healing gently nudges forward
my own slow and brave recovery.
