Ever sun

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.
