Deep glow of gold around
the round of your face.
Day settles down
in the curls
of your hair
as night snugs.
I tuck you in,
my little bird.
As tender as you are,
there is no way
to keep you from the hurts
of the world.
As it moves/turns around us,
my heart will always hold you close.
On bright wings, little bird,
you will soar far.
It’s my love that’ll show you how to fly, child…
so you can soar child.
So you can shine bright.
