Rev. Mark Fischer: Lovely, made even more so by the BBC series "Call the Midwife"
Deb D: Please note, that as the nun in the BBC program, the Midwife explains, the last part of the poem she recites, is not from RL Stevenson, but added for the occasion. I think the addition is lovely and will include it in the future.
Barbara Wilson: Watched PBS Call the Midwife last night. Very touching scene when poem read at the wedding.
Anne M: Just saw an episode of PBS Call the Midwife and a nun read this for a wedding ceremony. Lovely poem to mark an occasion of that magnitude
Deborah de Jonge: This has been my "gratitude" prayer every day of my life since 1990. Beautiful.
Anne Tod : Very nice sentiment and by RL Stevenson very relevant ❤️
