safe harbor

from the chain of life quilt

   safe harbor
we gather in a harvest
of little newborn souls
this is our calling
this is our work
              no farmers we
              we are the tugboats
              guiding in the ships
              safely to harbor home
we listen to the hearts
of the next generation
and count ourselves faithful
and satisfied
               to see the babies learn
               to nurse

I used some of my old green scrub pants for the background, they had birthed a few babes.
