Sing: A Poem for Lily

By Colleen Roscoe

Bright and graceful our daughter appeared
Whispering a new sound
An unfamiliar cadence
In a world of memorable songs

We released the melody of our dreams
Exhaled it through our hearts
And let it slip through our palms
To discover a new and perfect rhythm

Her song echoes in our hearts
In a pitch that hums sweetness and peace
We breathe in the notes of new hope
And dance to her powerful beat
