Gabriel gets a poem

Gabriel’s honorary aunt, Austin, has written him a poem and posted it on her blog. How very sweet! I’m happy that he is already so loved.

A poem for Gabriel

By Austin

Soon your eyes will squint in the light
the adorers’ glares warm upon your new-kissed cheeks.
Soon your ears will taste the music:
a familiar heartbeat among an unknown chorus,
a life-sustaining river.
Soon your fingers will grasp this world–
joy, wisdom, sorrow, chaos, communion
Later, much later, your heart will know
the love that will not let you go.
