Alight in the pause of breath,
I imagine holding you,
Your hands, such small hands,
And your smile, a beautiful smile
Taking me as I take you into my arms.

I imagine you,
What you would see in me,
A father, a man,
How you would laugh
And I would laugh
And you would cry
And I would kiss your tears.
If you were here
I would smile and reassure you
And you would take me to my dreams again.

And I imagine you,
The name you never had
And how I would call to you
And you would come to me
And I would hold you in my arms
And kiss away your pain.

In laughter, or tears,
Alight in the pause of breath,
I imagine you,
Your hands, such small hands
And your smile, a beautiful smile
Taking me as I take you into my arms,
Stirring me with soft and startling eyes.

Requiem for the unborn

In laughter or tears
Alight in the pause of breath,
I imagine holding you,
Your hands, such small hands,
And your smile, a beautiful smile
Taking me as I take you into my arms.

I imagine you,
What you would see in me,
A father, a man,
How you would laugh
And I would laugh
And you would cry
And I would kiss your tears.
If you were here
I would smile and reassure you
And you would take me to my dreams again.

And I imagine you,
The name you never had
And how I would call to you
And you would come to me
And I would hold you in my arms
And kiss away your pain.

In laughter, or tears,
Alight in the pause of breath,
I imagine you,
Your hands, such small hands
And your smile, a beautiful smile
Taking me as I take you into my arms,
Stirring me with soft and startling eyes.
