pure


i held you first so long ago
the most fearsome
the most beautiful
creature i had ever known
you fought to life
and then showed me what life is
i wept the tears of a man proud
in the new woman you had become
and you were teacher
to me and your mother
you taught love
you showed love
and you brought your husband to your fold
you make me marvel
to where you take your children
and you give to me hope
pure
simple
hope
