Little baby boy,
be at rest, peace, and comfort.
rest your body against mine, feel the safety of home.
breath deep and make a joyful noise, loud enough to shake the city's streets
Dearest child,
play with curiosity and wonder
let beauty of mountains and towers spark the riches of your imagination
discover the rights and wrongs that make our world shimmer in light and shudder at night.
Young man,
work with purpose, hope, and love
consider the pain and questions of your time,
imagine the best image of yourself, in the fuzzy reflections of God upon the waters
My son,
you will be our most precious work of beauty and art
you will be our resistance against chaos and death
you will be our blessing of life for generations, a renewing flame to melt away the ice
