Arrow In My Quiver

Now that you walk the earth, 
we await your story dear child

Were you sometimes seated in there 
in a floating dream curving a path 
like our favorite flower, baby's breath,
glistening in morning rain that makes 
every drizzle even more beautiful?

With fire in each milestone,
 like so much a stamen under sun
You carry the promise of bloom

Gratified you've touched our hearts
 and imagination with the gift of life 
bestowed upon you.
We'll never forget 
the first time we
 saw you here

From mum and dad,
two candles dear son 
and joyeux anniversaire!
