A Beautiful Neighborhood

The child inside of us is still there
Listening
Watching
Laughing
Crying
Learning
Hoping
Dreaming
Kindness overflows
from your beating heart
The child will always be there
gazing out into
such an incredible world

Dear Child

How I delight in you!
Your mere existence
is an irreplaceable joy to me.
You may not remember
the days you feel asleep
resting your head
on my chest
but I will remember for you.
Your small hands,
your little heartbeat,
your wide smile,
will always
have home within me.

Quote Me

Pain is a crucible through which 
all must pass. 

The sound of a crying child is 
proof of order in the universe.

Everything changes.
Everything must change. 

Premonition

I dreamt of your unborn child
And saw him with you.
Was I positive it was a boy
I'm not entirely sure.
You were beaming
and that was all the language
That needed to be spoken.

before the sunrise

waking to the sound of cries

sleep now little one

A Mother is the beginning of your world

and for a time

is your whole world. 

you smile in your sleep

what does an infant dream of

no one remembers

Greed

What the heart wants
is everything.
It can accept nothing less.
What a greedy child
it is.
It is incapable
of learning.
It wants
without care.
It wants
and will do
anything to achieve
what it desires.
Greedy child,
what have
you wrought upon
us all
since time immemorial?
