One, Whose Story's Very Old; One, Whose Story's Yet Untold

<->

Little child, looking carefully, into my eyes; [as you look into my eyes;]

you are asking, “Can I trust you?";

“Will you listen to my cries?"

~~

Precious child, I will teach you all I can,

and help you, thru your fears;

As I do, you’ll teach me many things,

that I’ve forgotten thru the years.

~~

I’ll teach you names of plants and birds;

how to read and write in words.

~~

You’ll teach me I should laugh, and cry;

and ask again, each question “Why?”

~~

Today we walk here side by side,

one, whose story’s very old,

one, whose story’s yet untold.
