Stirrings of a Soul


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!"
