I Awaken
I Awaken a child
to the nearness of my mother;
Feeling her breath of warmth--
(apparent is the joy
on her face
a labor well done);
my eyes maturing
not quite focus
I trustingly reach
for her special day
and mine
our discovery;
it is the grasp
of a newborn,
and the surrendering
of an
infinite universe
to love....
