To This Child Poem by Elna Nel

To This Child

Rating: 5.0


your brain
a precious jewel
takes the time
to remember
beauty

your arms
green stems
bloom
in tender
lilies

when you laugh
the sound hesitates
waiting
to be heard
again

the Kingdom
is yours even now
with your teens
nearby
and shy

I saw
eternity's love
in your patient
endurance
and how I wish

all men
to see
in your eyes
what we
should have been
