An old medal worn smooth.
Given shortly after birth,
worn since baptism.
On that day surrounded by family, love, happiness, faith and prayers for a long beautiful life.
This medal is of the sacred heart of Jesus.
On the other side of the medal mother and child.
Open arms,
smiling without smiles,
both sides worn smooth,
rubbing against a warm body, close to heart, ever present, listening.
Listening without saying a word.
A symbolic presence of love and prayer,
faith.
Reach up to, touch, recalling baptism…
Not alone.
Worn smooth
a trace of what cannot be denied
love
with an
open heart.
