Love Poem: on the breath of hopes

on the breath of hopes

a child’s love

is the love that’s born

to soar away …

and while we may

surrender our grasp to

grant them leave -

to press their precious

wings upon the wind

and chart a bearing their own,

we, in all our most

eager stirrings,

will never

ever …

let them go.
