Psalm Sonnet 8: Heavenly Beings

Somehow, when our children were first
Born, our selfishness was silenced,
Engulfed in craving their beauty.
Their skin was a glory above

The heavens, and the stars only
Constellations of their features.
The ego was put in its place
To receive these lithe little gifts.

To be an angel, caring
For the care of the creator.
