"Angels of the Universe"

A Little Girl On Her Path
Tiptoes and Whispers
Like A Child Lost in Fear

A Delicate Newborn
Pure and Pliable
With Tiny Hands and Little Toes
A Toothless Smile
And a Tender Heart
Is Born into a Coarse World
With Harsh Tongues
And Rough Edges

Open to Love but Gripped by Fear
Seeking with Wide and Innocent Eyes
Until Comes the Humble Embrace
Of A Brazilian Angel and A Yogi from Uzbekistan
The Understanding Voice of A Master from Maine
And An Indian Valley Girl of Law
The Light-Hearted but Powerful Humor
Of An African-American Girl of Chicago
And the Reflection of Herself
In a Petite Blond Professor of Art from Santa Cruz

All Ready to Awaken Her Eyes
And Open Her Arms to Love and Light
