For our children


I bought this little Buddha years ago, 
Enchanted by the fact 
 That he tenderly cradles a child 
And has the face of a wise old grandmother. 
And I’m still moved to see him, 
Lit by the morning sun, 
Sitting in my lavender garden, 
Still cradling the children of the world 
With that beatific smile…
