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
