Analysis of In My Heart Delights
I stand and stare as my children tick
their message gifting time
The safe door open, movements alive
their beats sound off in rhyme
All hands revolve to point the way
and celebrate new life
While one calls out to adorn my wrist
—and in my heart delights
(Villanova Pennsylvania: April, 2018)
