Coffee for Your Heart -The Red Poppy Dress
By Susie Teramura
Three buttons
And a big red bow,
She twirls bright.
Her red poppy dress
Swings high.
Brown hair hanging
Little arms open
Big
Hugging sky,
Free and loved
In breezes light.
She sways and dances
Glorying in her own
Beauty,
Feeling it
Right down to
Her beautiful bare feet
Half covered
In soft mud.
I smile and
Feel it too,
Something in me
Warms,
And knows,
Your pleasure
Your delight,
The way your
Mouth curves up
Just looking
At me
Being happy,
Being free,
Enjoying the beauty
You are making out of me.
You are
The provider
Of breezes,
And the wide-open sky,
You warm my heart,
And water my dry.
Three buttons and
A big red bow
Out of my mud
You’re making
Poppies grow.
Job 10:12
“You gave me life and showed me kindness, and in your providence watched over my spirit.”
This is so beautiful! What a gift you have! Poetry seems such a fitting way to describe the beauty that comes from knowing Him through motherhood. Loved it!

Hi Susie! Isn’t it wonderful how God sees us as his children? You could see it in your little one, and that’s the love and joy God feels for you too. Such a lovely way of expressing the love and nurturing of the Father!
Blessings,
