Summers' Child

A winter passed
Quiet and still
A spring came
Leaves grew fast
The good earth
Became green at last

 
With the dawn
In early summer
In an emerging pink sky
A girl was born
To Moondust
Her first cry

 
The birds  sang high in the blue
The word was passed
All of magic knew
Of Moondusts’ faerie child
Aquilas’ joy

 
Faeries came to see
The Moondust queen
That in summer
A girl was born
In our room
Filled with light
Love
Magic
Such joy was seen

Excellent! Your little one is going to realize some day just how much she is loved by her Dad! Thank you for sharing this with us. It brings back sweet memories of years that have just flown by so fast! Sincerely. Ladybug12
