Before You Were Born


Before you were born
we thought we were writing
our own days in a book.

But when you arrived
we tiptoed through faraway shadows
and your late afternoon nap

so that your waking cries
could keep us up all
the starry-dark night.
And we didn't even mind.

For we wanted those minutes and hours to be written firmly upon

our memory.

FOREVER.
