Whose Sandals I Have Untied
All creatures she loves,
And despises none.
Words of healing she speaks,
And judges not.
Her heart in quietness she gives,
And takes not.
But blessed is she
Because she does.
Always she does
And always with mercy;
And all are blessed
By her doing.

Hi Julia! That is a very lovely poem. Hope all is well with you.

If only we were all so kind hearted!! I am taking a copy so that I can remind myself, frequently, of how I should behave. Love you.
It always struck me that this poem was about a child and mother...but for sure that's probably the times I'm least like that!!!
I catch myself frequently yelling down "For Pete's Sake!!!" as I trip over my proverbial untied sandals! (and we know that's the polite version!)
Love you.
