Wings and Roots

This is my wish for the child I do not have, to be more than me.

Wings and Roots

I give to you my child
roots from deep
within my being
from the heart of my soul
and the depths of my heart
to keep your feet
firmly on the ground
as you march boldly
though your life
to your own tune
written by your creator
breaking moulds
left for you to fill
by a world
above whom
you will rise
on wings
that I give to you
for your spirit
to soar on winds
directed by your maker
to heights and depths
beyond my imagination
and yours
to explore living
beyond my dreams
to yours,
precious child,
…be free
