YOU LITTLE LIGHT

You little light,
You joyful face,
You of the wide uncompromising gaze,
You of the wild encompassing grace,

You have faith.

You heal leaving no scar,
no painful trace.

You little acrobat,
You move so fast,
We can hardly keep pace -
Only watch in awe as you
Morph and shift your shape

In and out of this race
And that place;
Listening only for the sounds
Of love's embrace.

HAPPY FIRST BIRTHDAY my darling nephew Rafael!!! If only I could have been there to blow bubbles, and eat cake, but the real gift is this - all that light and love sails right across the oceans, and keeps me buoyant and afloat. In the wake of your smile, in the palm of your hand,
I remain, your devoted
Aunty Shai

So do I Sherry, so do I. There'd be no crime, no hate, no wars, just cake and bubbles and birthdays and books and trees and friendship and LOVE!!!

I am slain by the cuteness! Children are so fun at that age, everything delights them. (and being an auntie you can play with them then put him back when you're done - heh, bonus!)

And many happy returns!
