son

how I wish you could know
how great
you fill my heart

daughter

you are
my one and my only
my darling baby girl

this same sun which I have always known

today
and then
tomorrow
i have reached out
to touch your face
to wipe away the tears
to hold you so tenderly
to make the sunrise
a simple thing of pleasure
to make your heart
sing with a new day
to wash away all things
that were not meant to be
today
and then
another day
when we will be together
in that eternal golden moment
when love
has conquered all
