Celestial Child

They danced in the light
of the bright new mornings
even in the darkest days
.

As each year passes
they dream of things
their father shall never live to grasp
.

Brothers and sisters
each moment of the day to day wandering
is left with single jewels of happiness
soft sadness humbles each of us
in unimportant things
.

Though she sings while others cry
.

Even as a father works
in silent images
children pause each moment
of that wandering
.

Celestial child
fragile
dependent
wild bright eyes of the stars
.

She cries while others sing
.

There is nothing a father has
that cannot be given
.

There is no shy place
to hide away from the memories
the essence
the beauty
.

You are your father's meaning
the whole reason for being
there is nothing else
.
