On the day after warmth came to spring
& daffodils flowered, beside new mown grass
The young boy came into our lives
On an evening when sunlight streams
Through leafless trees, I look more closely
To see the sticky buds beginning to open
That he too might enjoy the birdsong
Among the peacefulness, both now
& also in his later years
That his parents may soon walk out with him
In the countryside; also play endlessly together
On the soft sands, by sparkling seas
That love should come our way
Is itself the miracle of life
for Tim, Emma and Thomas William
This is a poem from Vagaries:
Love of The Key to Room 149
