To give the name
Again I take thee by the hand
In silence walk the lonely strand
Gently ruffles the breeze you sweet
The ripples, tickle my toes & feet
Our gaze is captured in the morning hue
I feel a movement inside you
Inside you shines a growing name
A child begins, like the burning flame
Of love, we found on a starlit night
The moon shone high, the dew was light
We kissed and red your lips spoke soft
Of who and where and when and off
I listened deep,
I heard you sing
I saw a star, a shining ring
Of light, it flashed across that night.
To light our flame
To show that heaven unites
Again & again & again
This universal moment true
A child
The magic of just me and you.

The repetition of “again & again & again” suggests that this moment of creation is universal and eternal, and that each child represents a new opportunity for love and connection. Overall, the poem celebrates the beauty and magic of new life and the special bond between two people who create it.
