Finding my daughter again

Beneath a lone red feather
i found her face
both eyes sparkling
in spring lit glory
like mozart's ode to joy
I thought.

each step she took
in synch with my heartbeat
I found her heart
leaping before all the grasshoppers
awoke from winter's slumber

This is why God made me
to find this moment
and cherish her

I found her mother
beside me watching
every dream she ever dreamt
walk by with blazing pride

This is why God made me
she thought, to find
this place and love her

Beneath a lone red feather
a blaring song of raging hope
and holy joy
bathed in sunlight
and springtime.
