Gemini June Poem by Christine A Kysely

My daughter keeps the time
From a place where I was fine
To a night I won’t forget
To a night I could regret
But I won’t.

Great Meteor showers
And unspoken words
Nine months nine days and hours
And I became the Middle-aged Matron
Of a Beautiful Red Haired Daughter.

She came flying into this world
Just as the sky unfurled
During one of the most intense
Storms of that wonderful
Gemini June.

Then the rains that came
Pouring down
Chose just as quickly then to go
The darkness miraculously abated
And the dark clouds parted ways
So the sun could put on its show.

A double rainbow was soon filling the skies
God’s sign that he was nigh
A vision that could foretell
His promise that all there was
And all that had been
And that all would be
Would be
More than well.

His personal promise to me.
That this child was meant to be
And the world would someday see
In years and years to come
That she would someday mirror
Both my image and show the better part of me.

In her being she will show
That I did the right thing
And that I didn’t take the easy road.

And I am quite sure
That she will prove
Through her actions, thoughts and deeds
That she will more than deserve
The chance to walk the earth
To live and love and breathe

I gave her her life
The gift of having a life
The chance to create a life
The chance to be.
I love her so very dearly
She is the well chosen embodiment of me.
