Ashley Mckennon Poet Rhyme

A Child's Hand

No sleep in the early morning,
No rest until the late evening,
There is a budding child of mine
Rising, in joy, as I write each line.

In adoring eyes, you lifted your hand to mine
Asking, quite patiently, would I find
The lost object of your affection 
Of which, having caused your affliction
of whimpering, I graciously consented.

Happy like a fool, the joy of having replaced
That which could not hold any other place
But that of your heart, you lifted your hand
Into mine, and I rose to stand,
In that gentle caress of my hand in your hand. 

And, in wondrous love of all His creation,
I came to know that which is given to the patient
And to the kind.  It is a good love, 
Your love, that is, which comes to prove, 
There is neither loss nor sorrow, from you, my dove.
