Child
Moments in time
precious Jewels
A warm embrace
comfort and need
A sweet smile
eternal Joy
Blessed sweetness
in your eyes
I hold to these
close to my Heart
Little hands that clutch mine
A simple poem such as this is evocative of William Blakes "Infant Joy."
Infant Joy
"I have no name;
I am but two days old."
What shall I call thee?
"I happy am,
Joy is my name."
Sweet joy befall thee!
Pretty joy!
Sweet joy, but two days old.
Sweet Joy I call thee:
Thou dost smile,
I sing the while;
Sweet joy befall thee!
