Lessons from baby Lili
Sometimes I feel like Lili
Wanting what is familiar
Thinking I need stimulation
Yet actually needing rest
I arch my back and cry loudly
Wanting someone to jump and run
I try to keep steadily in motion
Busy . . . active . . . distracted
When what I need is to be still and know
That I am safe and secure
With His hand holding mine
Hearing His voice
Letting my whole body relax in His arms
Feeling His peace
Letting His voice calm me
