I wait upon the love that waits for me Unknowing as I grow within the womb, The creature of an unheard harmony Between the voices of my dawn and doom. Half of me is you: how strange! Yet more Uncanny is the fact that we are two. I live within a room whose only door For good or ill must open onto you. Be there for me, father*, in your heart, As I for you will be the child you will. Play with all your love the father's* part, And I will with my love your dreams fulfill. I will rebel, of course, but pay no mind: Years of love will stand against the wind. *(For a mother, change to "mother" and "mother's.") Copyright by Nicholas Gordon.
