Sunlight dances across her tiny cheeks

Unhindered by grownup life,

She runs and jumps high,

There is no strife.

 

Blowing dandelion kisses to the sky,

Laughter and giggles fill the air.

Not a hint of how or where

Life will take her.

 

Not a hint of how confusion

Will overtake the joy of innocence

In days to come.

 

Not a hint of hurt,

horror or agony of loss,

yet known.

 

And, yes, not a hint of joy

that comes with

tomorrow’s love

 

Or the blessings from above,

When surrendered life

Overcomes the doubt,

The doubt that life is all about.

 

Let me dance

In the Love that comes

From the Light,

The Light that comes

From The Son.
