The Light In Your Hair
Caroline Beit
Sunlight streams through the windows Fingers of light touching every surface of our home For just a second this hand of light Reaches out and catches your hair Your brown hair glows amber blonde Light strokes your hair With all the care and caress of a mother And warmth of a friend It brightens up the room The same way you do every time your little chest laughs It scatters across the floor Like the pitter patter of your little feet There is a halo illuminating your holy little body Backlit behind your perfect little head I snap a picture A brief snapshot of how I always see you The picture captures A kaleidoscope of colors All I see is how much I love you The sun is not big enough to contain my love How much light you have brought to my life Spectral sunshine Holy Light Brightness of Love Hallowed Blaze

Caroline! Thank you for sharing your poem with us today. I really enjoy the way your poem zeroes in on those fleeting moments with our children, just as light slants in and illuminates truth and wonder.
