Births

Wildflowers are blooming

and vast brilliant stars are being born.

Welcome this child who dared to come to this world.

Her mother drew the map, showing her the way.

She guided her towards the light with

strength, affection, pain, and laughter.

Embrace life with all it has to offer you.

Every step is a prayer, every breath is a living proof.

Let them not be unsure and indecisive.

Touch this sacred, burning heart.

Kiss this warm, ageing body.

Love these tender, impatient lips.
