Notes About The Poem

Christmas Child

"Christmas Child"

She holds his feet 
in her hands
little feet,
warm, kicking
he smiles.
His feet
kick small drum beats 
on her palms
she kisses his crown 
strokes his side 
with her fingers
and all the while
she marvels at this
little miracle child
he is only hers for a
short while;
such dreams 
she has for him
but he will walk 
his own life
every 
single 
mile.
