Kishu

 As I soak in the unmatched fragrance

 of your brand new skin,

Your innocent, involuntary sweet smile, 

The softness of your silky hair, 

As I match my heartbeats 

to the rhythm of your breath

Holding you gently in my arms

Every atom in my body 

Closes in to shield you, 

Protect you, 

From the craziness of today’s world. 

The time slows down. 

I hope with all my heart 

May you be blessed forever. 

Caressed by the sun,

cradled by the moon,

Rocked by the gentle breeze

While you dream your dreams. 

May you find your place on this planet

May you find love and peace 

walking with you all your life. 

May you find the courage to do what’s right

And shine in your own light.
