May 2017
A child is like a memory that promises to be
An intriguing little echo of our brief mortality

A fuzzy new reflection of what has been before
That captures all the essence of our lives, yet … so much more

For each will add a suffix to the mantle of descent
A familiar revelation of a personal ascent

β€˜Til soon they too encounter their own human frailty
And aspire to hold their mirror that reflects eternity
