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Drew up your own constitution and rearranged outdated commands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

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
