In the sunlight
in the kitchen
on an ordinary afternoon
a man and a baby greet nose to nose

no “spectacular spectacular”
no unique verbiage exchanged
but the look of love
and the response in kind; smiling

a dream is realized
a circle unbroken
God’s great gift to me
Tiny, daily moments of shining clarity

A prayer raised to heaven
A hope whispered loudly
Little-girl words asking of God
Big-time requests for a new sibling

From mother to daughter
From father to son
Faith embraced and passed carefully
In tiny moments over any ordinary day
