Call the Midwife: A Memoir of Birth, Joy, and Hard Times (The Midwife Trilogy #1)

by Jennifer Worth

Now and then in life, love catches you unawares, illuminating the dark corners of your mind, and filling them with radiance. Once in a while you are faced with a beauty and a joy that takes your soul, all unprepared, by assault.

To an Unknown God I sang to you In the day of my bliss And you were near I thought of you In my lover’s kiss And felt you there I turned to you When our love was too brief And found your strength. I needed you In the years of my grief And knew you, at length.

“Do not ask me to immortalise the great Mystery of Life. I am just a humble worker. For beauty, look to the Psalms, to Isaiah, to St John of the Cross. How could my poor pen scan such verse? For truth, look to the Gospels – four short accounts of God made Man. There is nothing more to say.”

One can only love God, and through His grace come to love His people.”
