Pre-Thanksgiving meal at the Boys’ Home
A calmness has settled
voices have lowered
Shards of disharmony and disarray
all have been swept
away

Tonight we gather

To share,with one another
Give thanks for the blessings
Bestowed
To us all

Young lives and old dreams
settings of plastic
side by side with simple truths
Common bonds among
us all
In this forest of young
Lives so
hope filled
Hungry eyes and longing hearts

A stirring presence has filled
this place
Desires greater than needs
Time. A measurement
Of  dreams yet formed
Surrounded by the presence of
love,a spirit
a pureness ,of ebb and flow
swaying in timeless prayers
Blessing’s raining down
In this tide of gratitude
washing upon us, gently
hand in hand ,we move in this moment

Not as many, but as one
in this union we are spirit
Moving, flowing
Outward

A warm and touching write my friend, truly written from the heart. I recall visiting a boys home a few years ago around the holidays, not a holiday season goes by since then that I don't think about the children that were in the home. It has since closed down, not sure why, but I often wonder what happened to the children who were there? Where did they go? Many more questions ramble through my thoughts about them, especially the younger ones. Touching write my friend!
Blessings & Happy Holidays,
Joyce B.

The Boys Home...this is sweet, animated and full of love at The Boy's Home. I wonder of this home. My father and his twin were in Marsh Foundation Boys Home in Ohio. Love to you and your family.

"Young lives and old dreams

Beautiful, strange, rich with multiple connotations.
Wonderful style and flow, together with a humane message (which
is something I value immensely).
