...The Constant Heart A daughter born, 
a fragile bud, 
A father's pride, 
A mother's flood Of hope 
And dreams in tiny hands,

plovers dart on fleet feet
across sodden...

Silence Listens

...
                                             Silence Listens

	                         In the quietude of a room at night
