Beloved Sarah

You wore your vernix like a crown on a budding successor Head held up high and then there was an almighty scream I cut the chord and crowned the royal moment with a kiss The inauguration of Princess Sarah Still a bit squashed from the passage of naked transmission Dressed in heavenly light you wasted no time and held court Infused with the power of birth you aligned all canopy’s stars An innocent heartwarming Princess The fragrance of your soft skin mixed with sandalwood scent An aura transcended the air and vibrations entered my soul Irresistible you began your reign with unshakeable prowess Divine Sarah Princess of instantaneous Peace A moment of silence and then you drew me into your reign Fed on nature’s ambrosia and sucked in the power of love Took a firm look around and decided to slumber for a while A priceless Princess taking over my world By your own future Queen’s acclaim you thrived on Royal Jelly Like Agape personified you smiled and assumed the throne Cuddled up in a blanket of violet shades in lavender petals A modest Princess draped in a cloth They say that the emperor rules better without any garments And your hair tussled hair shone like a pure garland of prayer ‘I am not concealed’ you seemed to say ‘but draped in the truth’ This Princess needs no scepter to strike gold Of course the quiet inception was followed by sleepless nights Indigestion and fevers as well of reminder of fragile existence Many a night I watched almost helpless right next to your berth Even Princesses need sweet soothing lullabies As you grew older you rebelled with purpose against the old order Drew up your own constitution and rearranged outdated commands Took to insurgence and regime change and nascent nonconformity Novel nobility and a Princess in renewed charge But when I first looked into your blue eyes and felt your tender skin I knew all too well that my incumbency was finite and ready to swap My council already waning for your ascendency simply waxed for me To hand over the torch to my Princess Sarah 04th April 2020

"Even Princesses need sweet soothing lullabies" - for sure! Beautiful! Clapping.

She grew up ... amen! And "drew up her own constitution" in your home before that! You go Sarah, she's independent as we wish them to be. Ahhh, break the eggs to make omelette (went through this with 2 princesses of my own). Thanx anyway for my own revived memories of love & distance before Covid19). shalom Kai

Thank you Juliet. My own daughters are called Jana and Lisa. I also have three sons and the poem applies to all of them. Kind wishes, Kai
