(for Kate)
I watch you, sweet daughter,
Sleeping, blissfully at peace,
Oblivious, like a cat napping,
To the world that surrounds you,
When suddenly, your eyelids
Flutter open, light, like butterfly wings
And you are awake.
And in that moment
Bound by eternity,
Unbordered by time,
Your eyes find me
And you smile.
I marvel at your smile,
So wondrously vivid,
Splendid, like lightning.
It is a beatific smile:
A smile ordained by heaven.
