Solomon's Voice
for my infant son
This world, beautiful and cacophonous
is your world
Be gentle with it
The hours pass in such a haphazard fashion
Skipping and stuttering through our idle minds
Be gentle with them
Everyone lives their life for love
For themselves and for others
Be gentle with their hearts
Everyone lives the story of their lives as the hero
Striving to succeed against the weights of hope and despair
Be gentle with their dreams
You will stumble and fail and sin
Scars that will shape you and guide you
Be gentle with yourself
