~ Yep! ~
~ I reckon I’ll go out, about a bit to wander, and dream of this life with my new child a bit. Or maybe, maybe just quietly set here some and whittle and talk a while and ponder with God. ~
~ Yes, set here with my Lord for a time, yes talk some alone with Jesus, of my hopes’, for my new family, and the many a sorted thing, and I reckon to run in fun still. I might with the wind, but as well, in a while I reckon. ~
~ I’ll want to go back in to help Ma, and real soon, and of this I’m sure. ~
~ To set the table for dinner, and play some with our little Jamie, our young one, and feed my tiger fish and then do some of the rest of my chores, and so it is to be mine this, my fortune. ~
~ To have a happy home now and the better of my fancy set free. ~
~ For so beset and living in the way beside me, by one, the tenderness given to me by the way of His Grace. Gods’ love has finally found me, but still wandering. Will I always be. ~
~ Down along that leafy road… Out amid the mighty structures of the spruces with Jamie and the honey humble bumble bee, bumbling on by beside me, and never will I forget these. As back when as to cast them, I set my dreams aloof the songs of the wind while in love I ran about and chasing them with the little jumpy grasshoppers ever ginger in their joy. ~
~ As they carried in their way and within their hands, my hope of this day, one so to be found with them, and in view of God and in the way of all of this. His natural beauty, Jamie could be seen, and as God is the one who has granted me this time to be alone with Him. ~
~ I reckon for a moment underneath the shade of my porch roof, and in view of the wandering sky’s. For awhile I’ll stay, and sit here outside amid His judicious graces in view of the many tendering wooding leaf, and many effervescent, flower bloom, and take this time and a sharpened hand in this very simple pleasure as well and remain right here. ~
~ On this porch quietly hoping for Him. ~
~ Yes for my new child, in my easy chair, rocking amid this simple wood awhile, whittling my stick. ~
~ For I reckon real soon, this time alone with Him, well it’ll be all gone, but it’ll be all mine and a brighter hope for another time! ~
~ Yes a brighter hope for My family, and me, another time. On another day with God. ~
~ I reckon! ~

I have to admit
I am not the biggest fan of religious themes but this is well written and your hopes and dreams have been captured well here.
Look forward to seeing more of your work

Thank you!
I have not yet been blessed with my new child Jamie… as a matter of fact, I have been separated from my wife and children for about 9 1/2 moths, to the date!
i wrote this when there was still hope!
Still and yet though, i am willing to consider that Jamie may always be just a dream… You can never tell with God!
Thank you for your comments and god bless you!
