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