On Seeing An Infant's Photograph
what enchanting lands
are let loose behind
those eyes?
the smile tells me
several stories of
those far away lands
that have been
so much part of your world, now
my first lesson to you, my love
lose not that smile
filling your world and mine
with bliss unbound
come what may
my second lesson to you, my love
when stress and strain
wears you down
close those eyes
just as you do now
even for a wink
to revisit those lands
of your blissful infancy
for revival and rejuvination...
*a wonderful photograph with a unique smile on the infant's face... Thomas Horton's 'First Lesson'
