Two Prayers

14.

There are many prayers I have for you

My beautiful, darling angel

But most, and foremost I pray

That you build yourself a net

So that you can leap

Without fear

And land safely

When there is no one else

To catch you.

Mum.

I pray that I make you proud

So that you can see

Clearly

That everything I am

Is a reflection of you.

And I pray someone

Will sacrifice for you

The way you so

Effortlessly

Did for us.
