Nature's Gift

The day will come, More quickly than the time it took For me to recognize it would When my family is undone. But nature's gift As you, with unsteady step Into the world leave mother's breast, And protective warm embrace For a more uncertain place, Perhaps to be adrift. - Is this moment Of tenderness and playful pride While each heartbeat fills our lives, And never can be stolen.
