Sonnet Speaks Softly of the Soul
Lines from Browning's Sonnet 7
The face of all the world is changed, I think,
Since first I heard the footsteps of thy soul
(and I….)
Was caught up into love, and taught the whole
Of life in a new rhythm.
I heard the stirrings of my granddaughter's soul on her baptism day.
There was plenty of gentle,soft cooing--and ear piercing screams--
but underneath it all, there was that stirring of the soul
which said,
"I am here! And I am marked as Christ's own forever!"
