Two Little Tenderness Poems

Shirley A Mandel
The Gentle Caress

Trust God;
He knows what He's doing.
Trust God;
your tenderness He's wooing.

Like the wind
gently caresses the grasses,
your tenderness He's wooing.

I Crack a Vial

I crack a vial
filled with the tears
of tender flowers.

Oh Lord,
break me
to release my tender tears.
