In any landscape

In any landscape
A tree is the natural place to stop.
A tired mother might bring her children
To play quietly in its shade,
To tell them stories of faraway places.

In the imagination of a little boy,
A tree might become the mighty mast of a pirate ship
The sentry tower of a besieged castle
The smooth and gleaming booster of a spaceship
Aimed at planets unknown and wonderful.

A little boy might learn to play marbles under its shade
He might lie under it and gaze through its swaying canopy
At the clouds as they form and re-form,
At the stars as they wheel, unchanged, in the sky.

A bigger boy might lean against its sturdy trunk
Dazzled and amazed
And might dare to hold hands with the
Giggling girl of his current dreams.

A grown up boy might bring his own little boy
To sit under the cool leaves of a tree,
And tell him astonishing stories of pirates and castles and spaceships
Aimed at planets unknown and wonderful.

In any landscape
A tree is the natural place to stop.
In it's dappled, drowsy shade
Calm and at peace,
We can rest.

Your First Birthday

Your first birthday is coming
And as it draws near
I think of what I’d get you
And I burst into tears

A little white dress
With a pretty pink bow
And little white shoes
For your cute little toes

And don’t worry sweetie
I didn’t forget the toys
I even got a few
That make too much noise

But you won’t unwrap them
And I won’t see you smile
I don’t understand why
You could only stay for awhile

How can it be
My angel dear
That I couldn’t even have you
For one solid year?
—Dawn Winkler, Hailey’s Mommy




A Song for a Tiny Angel

I feel a tug at my heart in the night.
Can it be your joy at your heavenward flight?
I feel a warmth in my bittersweet tear.
Can it be the flutter of wings in my ear?
I feel a light in my bleakest of days.
Can it be your radiance piercing the haze?
I feel a whispering rush from the sky.
Can it be your soul telling my soul goodbye?
I feel a peace washing sadness away.
Can it be you cradled in the Lord's arms today?
I feel a comfort my grief can't deny.
That we'll meet again in the bye and bye.

He Never Knew

A flicker of sunlight
One moment in time
From May to September
One blink of an eye
Lullabies silent
Questions of why
Searching for answers
I know I won't find

But I'll find some comfort
Knowing Aaron knew love
And I'm glad there are things
He never knew of....

He never knew hunger
He never knew pain
He never knew violence
Some children face
He never knew bigotry
Color of skin
He never knew hatred or sin
And I find some comfort in this

He never knew anger
Never knew war
He never knew poverty
Outside his door
He never knew loneliness
Some must endure
He never knew these things exist
And I find some comfort in this

A flicker of sunlight
In a Grandmother's eyes
Tears are still falling
And will for some time
For there are some things
I wish that he knew
Taken for granted
By both me and you

But I'll find some comfort
In this heart that he touched....
For there's one thing I'm sure of
I know he knew LOVE......
