Nestled in my hand,
so small.
I dare to hold you,
closer.
I make room beneath
life's unfurling arms
to lift you up
to life.
In our world so
large for you to
comprehend.
You lie there
Unnoticed, untouched.
I try to love you,
let you blossom
In a world
So full of hate.
Tiny at first
You spring from your
Roots.
Tiny steps at first
To enlighten our
Days. In world full
Of fear.
You set it alight.
With your dreams.
Hope of a better future
A life of worth.
You spring from your now
weathered stem to take
stock of life.
And smile.
Your smile,
Brightens up the world.
I hear the pounding
But smile.
Hope
