Saints Peter and John Healing the Lame Man, by Nicolas Poussin
Gabriela Mistral

I Rock my Child

The sea divinely rocks its
thousands of waves.
Listening to the loving seas
I rock my child.
 
The wandering wind rocks the wheat
through the night.
Listening to the loving winds
I rock my child.
 
God the Father soundlessly rocks
his myriad worlds.
Feeling the touch of his hand in the dark
I rock my child.
