This World Can Be A Wonderland

Home was soft and warm
like a well worn favourite glove.
Mother’s voice melodic,
words without meaning,
soothing and comforting.

Earthquake; insides tremble,
squeezed and confused,
darkness gives way to light.
You are new born -Thanks given
Arrived safe and sound.

Enter this chaotic existence
with over a billion chances.
Hopes for you - immense.
Prayers for you - unending.
Love unconditional - forever.

Light - a blur on horizon.
Comfort as gulps of food
fill the new chalice
that will hold a lifetime
of energy - of tastes.

Eyes gaze at tiny form
as love spills its glory
to life’s little miracle.
Blood pumps its pulses
to a new unique pure soul.

You will suffer and hurt.
That I have given you this
breaks my heart. - But learn
dear child - this world can be
a wonderland - if you choose.
