Dear Child

Book Cover & Preview Text
Dear child,
You step into the frothy ocean, its hands washing your feet
As you stand at the edge of the earth wondering,
What is beyond the place where pale waves become sky?
Here’s to you dreaming of walking in starlight,
Gathering moon beams that
Climb a silver ladder into the sky
Here’s to you collecting a bouquet of stars and
Inviting the moon and her friends for a stroll in the inky midnight.
