The heart is soft at bedtime –
a wise old pastor said to me –
So spend it with your children.

For My Newborn Daughter
Forever and ever ago:
Before the galaxies began to spin,
Or God shook out the carpet of the Milky Way,
In light and splendor with the choiring angels all around
the eternal Trinity declared
“I will make
you
Amelia.”
For Charlotte, On Her Third Birthday
You master work of living art,
You beautiful
immortal
merry-hearted girl,
Today three years into
eternity:
I pray
Your treasures multiply with every passing day
Until day breaks and shadows flee away.
