Child,
Just delicate bones,
Wrapped in perfect skin
So desperate to escape
The only home you'd known, and
How you reached,
With a little hand
For the light of the world
I made for you to live in.
Child,
As I am, you'll be,
Growing endlessly,
Size and understanding,
Hearing that I love you,
And learning
That tears are for joy,
As well as for sorrow,
And the thrill that life can be.
I'll be back later for another read but, until then, will the words "absolutely stunning" do?
