Sonatas IV (Triptych) - 3
Youth's Spirit Rising

The circle ever changes - for Love is divine;
The pictures are immortal - they'll be remade in time...
I've seen your picture remade - as it will ever be -
The day your little daughter came running to me;
Stepping out of the pool, lovely as you were at two and at three!

So like you in form, in beauty, sweetness and grace
I still see you at that age, and now she has your face!
She has toddled - smiling up that same path with affection
To look up from time's eternal reflection.

That's how it's done, the mind’s camera molds
An eternal picture of our progenies souls.
To stay in our hearts, and that's how they'll always be
In our minds for a lifetime, that's the picture we'll see.
