A baby as tender
as the fragrance
of lilies of the valley
A toddler, good boy
as the perfume
of a jasmine flower
A child doing his best
as strong as the smell
of a stormy sea
Dreaming of a princess
as beautiful as the sight
of the skies at dawn
Studying, working hard
as hard as the touch
of a polished diamond
But then
becoming aware
that what counts is:
To be loving and tender
as the fragrance
of lilies of the valley
