Daughterlight

The first home any of us knew, was a mother's heart.

Tonight she is
soft and loved,

by the warm light
only a daughter
can bestow.

Tonight
no candle flame
can match the heart
and tiny hands
she once felt growing inside her.

Unseen,
they still reach
for her face,

as though the whole world
were simple as:

a mother,
an evening,

and love enough
to light eternity.

The first light,
best light,
we ever know.
