at your birth

Harbor

How they must have waited
for your quickening breath,
the sign of precious life
I long to harbor now.

They must have been impatient
for the rising, vital color
to claim your slender body
that now I much desire.

For in the smallness of your being
on a blessed summer day,
lay the beginning of beauty,
the seeds of new love.
