as i peer at your tiny face
so beautiful
innocence at its purest
i reflect
you are me
and i am you
a child of yesteryear
you are my hope
the hope
of a better world
our future
my future.
they have tried to break your spirit
they’ve used all the weapons they know
but your spirit remains
unvanquished
inside
where no one can see it.
oh precious one
you will see
it is time to soar once more
free as the eagle.
