Elias

Gentle observer,
self-assured, you watch and wait,
and move when ready.

Arms thrusting forward,
shoulders hunched, you sing and dance.
Little conductor.

Melodious child,
trustworthy, good, real. Inspired –
you make me better.

Creative, funny,
I treasure your squeals. I love
to hear your laughter.

Sweet, original,
you are calm, comfortable,
our precious firstborn.

William Elias.
