My Special Child

Her pure, limpid, black eyes

Stare intently, unfocused into space,

Her upturned nose and thin lips,

Which almost force a smile,

Complement her pixie-like face

Crowned by a mop of

Straight, black, unruly hair.

One hand cups her face

In an attitude of pensiveness,

The other hand is clenched tightly

With determination.

Her small, doll-like body,

Insinuating frailty,

Belies her age.

She is the epitome of innocence,

Blissfully unaware

Of the anguish, the heartache

It has taken,

To bring her to this first stage

Of her very precious life,

—This very special child!
