Dear Arthur

Dear Arthur, I haven't met you yet, But I know you'll be here soon, And I can't wait to see your face, And hold you in my arms. I know you'll fall into our lives, Like long-awaited rain in Spring, Melting the last of winter snow, Along with our fragile hearts Soon you'll wake to a strange world That you won't understand, But I hope I can help you see The beauty of it all, And give you everything you need For now I like to think of you As a warm and tiny seed, Safely nestled in the earth, Waiting for its moment To break the surface And when you rise to meet the sun, I know my love for you will bloom, Like endless fields of April flowers, Welcoming you to the world.
