Paean to My Daughter

Nov. 1999

Infinity's child blessed us by her birth,
Daughter from a light I own not yet
But see on the soul's horizon brightly gleaming.

Daughter of constant wonder, depth and delight,
Woman and mother, calm and gracious soul
A benediction gives to each and all.

We, the fortunate ones, have watched her grow
In childhood's days at the dawn of Auroville,
Inspired to a path of gentleness.

A conscious soul through all her formative years,
Bearer of a quiet joy she brings
Her sweet and tender touch to mortal things.

Beloved of our lives this treasure lives
A gift of the dawning future's harmony
One-souled apace with the new divinity.
