loyalty and kindness
may they ever bind us
may they form our words
may they move our hands
may they govern our hearts
*The poem comes from my favorite verse. Proverbs 3:3. Never let loyalty and kindess leave you. Tie them around your neck as a reminder. Write them deep within your heart. The picture is my son around age 11, he’s now 17, a young man, very different. Here he is handing me a wildflower boquet he picked in the hill country of Texas where we had pulled over on the side of the road to pick flowers.*
