Oh my little girl,
you unfurled
into the world,
Un curled
Slipped warm into my hands
flung your arms wide
to fly
I held you newly born
felt your first breaths.
your eyes opened
springtime shining.
You came loved beyond love
You played in the dew,
picked the daffodils,
shone butter cup pearls on your chin
Danced with your siblings
ran the mountain’s backs
on bluebell banks and wooded Gelli
Hyacinth smiling eyes
May tree Laughing
under the spray of it’s spring fling flung cream scented blossoms
This was your day
By the white streams you dreamed
and loved and bloomed
in the splash of a moments beam
Hunting crayfish and fossils
Splitting rocks
Your spirit always flowing
toward the wild
Sand shore ocean.
Growing into the silent
and the exquisite flowering of your peace.
we pleaded, we begged, never, never
words can never say...
we bear the unbearable.
Beggars at the feast
I held you first and last.
In every minute,
every so slow second of existence.
You have become,
Ever young,
shinning among the fields
of everlasting sun.
