Embrace the elements

Your feet in the grass

Be free, my sweet child

Go play, and laugh

Simplicity is bliss

nature’s thy bedroom

Give Mother a kiss

let her tuck you in

with blankets of lilies

a pillow of moss

I’ll snuggle in tightly

let the stars

be your bedtime story

to connect you to generations

long before

and long, long after

I’ll tuck a flower behind your ear

as a proclamation

of my deepest

adoration

you deserve adornments

you deserve to flourish

my lovely little rose garden you are

I’ll keep this hallowed grove

our little slice of Eden

free from trampling feet

call to me

at any time, any day

I am there, I am yours

and when you’ve grown

I’ll take thy hand

and we’ll embark

in search of ever greater beauty

let the pastures we come across

be exclamations of love

every scene

a metaphor

for what we have created together

for I love you

I love you
