A Promise for Keegan    


To my son...



 standing at the start line of tomorrow,
a beginning brought to us on angels wings,
   a love immeasurable before the first breath,
  
each overture of dusk and glide of dawn
  brings growth subtle and special,
twilights of sleepless lullabies,
    gentle rocks, and cradled arms,
soft prayers and replied twittering coos,
 leaves life before forgotten
     to this journey begun,

bringing to us laughter in moments of exhaustion,
  smiles at the personality of you
with your arms raised above your head
   in tranquility of sleep,

 bringing a depth of faith before unknown,
    joy fulfilled in the honor of being your mama,
   an inspiration for thousands of written words
and thousands beyond,

  here making a promise by water
where once blood was shed,
    an encompassing love we open to you
to hold, believe, and grow in.
