New Child Poem by Arthur Wall

New Child

Rating: 5.0


There was a time
when nearly every kid
I saw walking alone
along the road
looked like one of mine.
Same height, same gait,
same clothes,
same colors.
I blessed each shape
and silhouette,
even, drawing closer,
knowing
she wasn't one of mine
nor was he.
Today a figure, shape,
or shadow
blesses me, thinking
of me,
in his
or her
mind eternal:
this is one of mine,
to possess
and be possessed.
