Wooden Fences

Fences


I’ve jumped fences, I’ve climbed walls
I’ve had helping hands and hands that let me fall,


And through it all, 
I’ve heard your voice calling my name.


You say the same thing over and over again: 
“Just look away.”


I’ve felt your hand on my shoulder,


Guiding me, leading me,


Always keeping me facing straight.

Over the Fence by Emily Dickinson










Over the fence -
Strawberries - grow -
Over the fence -
I could climb - if I tried, I know -
Berries are nice!

But - if I stained my Apron -
God would certainly scold!
Oh, dear, - I guess if He were a Boy - 
He'd - climb - if He could!

 ... Emily Dickinson
