Soft and steady rhythm of a baby
breathing
her gaze tells you all you need to know
her footsteps tender as the snow
the pitter-patter blast of snow upon a window.

Considering all that we do not know
or understand, we stand together, hand-in-hand,
me supporting she, she supporting me,
under this beautiful harvest moon.
