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