The Children in Children

Wild-Yes!
A fine wilderness.
Unsullied cubes of sweet, pristine
Cherubs cut from clothe of a queen

Kindly- they are!
Brightly- their star!
Wonder of wonders first and new
Children of children of me and you.

Naive- they’ll be!
Zestful- you’ll see!
A garden of flowers colouring all
A canvas finely draping from a wall

Grateful- of course.
A meal- a three course!
Evidence of beauty, of God and of man
A place where all the others began.
