Let’s Not Walk Softly

You Tracy and Me

Let’s not walk softly as though on hallowed ground.

Let’s walk boldly and talk of love.

Love, so young, careless, unbound.

Love, so foolish. Yet love that brought forth life.

A tiny seed began to grow secretly, quietly in a dark and lonely room.

This seed became… begun in love, reckless, foolish, and too soon.

A spark of passion warm and light, a seed burst forth,

And out of love came you.


How easy it is for children at play to make another life.

It took no thought, just passion.

Then a spark, barely visible,

Became a fire when you came so sudden.

It was you dear child, a heart, joined to mine… forever.
