The Gift

There is no greater gift from above than a child.

-The Gift-

From an act of pleasure,

Came something so sublime,

A fine and unsought treasure,

Unearthed by the hands of time.

 

I will rest our nest

Upon a windy hill,

And watch your feathers bloom

Like words from a blessed quill.

 

Rest beneath these wings,

My baby blue.

And until your soul can sing,

I will sing for you.

 

Precious little fish, stay close to me.

I will guide you through…this dark, infinite sea.

And when the time will come, for your winter words,

I’ll leave you to fly freely, with all the other birds.

 

Flight for a bird set free,

Home for a fish under the sea.

You can be just anything,

Your heart inclines to be.

 

Keep me as your home,

My baby blue.

And until you choose to swim alone,

I will swim with you.

 

Until the oceans rise,

And until the mountains fall,

Gaze into your sweetest dreams,

And heed your inner call.

 

Until all love is lost,

And until all time has passed

Hold fast to your beliefs

 Until the days have reached their last.

 

Sleep inside these wings,

My heaven sent.

I’ll shield you from all things,

Keep you in my tent.

 

Look deep into my eyes,

My paradise.

Remember that you will always be,

The very best of me.

And whatever happiness I own, or ever do,

Just know that it all began...

...With you.
