Peering into the Sunlight

A young boy sits on a hardwood floor 

Contemplatively looking at the window 

A slightly parted curtain acts as a conduit 

For a ray of sun to shine through 

Floating dust specs catch his attention 

For they appear magical to him 

His young mind grasping at the meaning of all this 

For today he puts it all together 

Today God gives him clarity 

For Mommy and Daddys words have meaning 

Deeper than simple commands 

He now knows he is human 

As he examines his opened palms 

Wiggles his fingers in unison 

Finally feeling alive and connected 

The world no longer a blur 

No more rapid moving images 

For today reality stands still 

Lets a little boy get aboard 

Peering into the sunlight 

Mysteries of the universe are opening wide 

All in a moments time 

A toddler becomes master of time and space 

Though for only a brief moment 

That is eternal 

I still remember that day
