Amber

Little child forging tiny knee-capped imprints on the rug feels a gentle hug from arms so warm and soft one’s that hold you aloft Your eyes stare downward in wonder and under neath those starried eyes can you see the caring two who are trying? to give in excess all the love they possess in their souls unto you to behold Tiny girl inhale all the splendors of the world now that you’re young and the subtle songs unsung heard as you grow are silent melodies of a love you’ll come to know when you are holding your own little child. Step forward, my love.
