Slow Change - on a new baby
Slowly, slowly as a rose
unfolds its scented summer leaves
wears them awhile, and sheds them soon;
Slowly, slowly as a colt
grows up to be a racing horse
that wins awhile, then is forgotten;
Slowly, slowly as the world
is swallowed by devouring time
one gulp a day, and never spared;
That slowly does a babe in arms
kneel up to crawl, stand up to walk
become a person loved by us;
That slowly does a sleeping thing
open her eyes upon a world
that she will watch and recognize;
That slowly will we fade away
our presence turns to history
we leave our world to her.
(My own, written in 1990 when my youngest cousin was born.)
