Future delights
Of a child's face
Knowing your sins
Will be erasedOr forgotten
In between
Her shrieks of joy
And happinessPast delights
Cast forward
As she turns and runs
Tripping occasionally but always getting upGetting bigger
Getting braver
Leaning time against the wall
Unconcerned with corporalityA pure spirit
Universally known
To a stranger and our daughter
Intrinsically and infinitely linked
