~MY
CHILD~
May I put you
high upon a pedestal,
And place
a crown of jewels on your head?
Or should
I hold you ever so tightly
That you never
reach the heaven's
Without me
at your side instead?
Should I tell
all humanity, the power of your love
That can add
brilliant colors to God's rainbows?
Or should
it remain a secret deep inside my heart,
So no one
will ever feel the strength of it
Unless I release
it so everyone knows?
Should I share
with the world your exquisite beauty
Even angels
up above crave with desire?
Or should I
hide it within my very soul to keep
So even a
reflection will never be seen
Unless a flicker
shines in my eyes as a fire?
If I accomplish
these secrets I have of you
Will you vow
never to depart?
Or should
I just release your flight
So all will
experience the gift you possess,
This from
my selfishness, shall I impart.
No longer
may I harbor your existence,
And all shall
be stilled, in awe
As they see
what God's mighty powers
Can create
for such a one as I,
My child,
a dove, without a flaw.
