Poetry, poetry, and poetry! And my rants about life in general in Papua New Guinea.

What do we see in the faces of our babies?

That which, alone in babies' eyes
Sparkle like the evening star in a
Vacant sky, and dance on lips
Smoother before naked gums.

That which, in their voices
Summon hearts to a sprightly
Dance in their bony graves.

That which, in subtle
Manifestations, our
Inheritances parade that on
High as long white clouds
We fly.

Wherever else would a thing
So pure but in faces of our
Babies be found?

Wonderful! is it not; that in their
Angelic lights selfishly we bask?
O! Heaven such grace bestowed
That we might a bit of it taste.
