In the eyes of the child
I read what it thinks of me
what it sees or guesses, how
I can be a lioness
can be everyone's friend
in word and deed
ready every day
jumping over any ravine
to the place where I want to be
finding of itself new questions
in the eyes of that child
with which an adventure begins
