September 2, 2013
There was a time before
–
so asserts the desert
mind
– before your tiny face
carved
love on our hearts,
Bound
to a new blessing
of
joy and terror, tied
to
a miracle, millennia in
making,
robust and fragile
Both,
the improbable becoming
inevitable
as time reveals
fresh
wonders, which always
lay
latent in life, in stardust,
In
what came before. There is
no
time before we loved you
and
there can never be
a
world where we do not.
I love this one. Happy birthday Sarah!

Wonderful words, Bob. She's a very lucky daughter!
ReplyDeleteAs I will be grandparent of two grand daughters arriving in January, I will save this one for future reference. Thank you for capturing thoughts I have not yet enjoyed.
