The Day You Were Born
In the earthen quiet of the tokule
God looked down in anticipation
Smiled
His beautiful creation
Perfect
Knit together
Every hair known
Every day ordained
Smiled
The quiet broken
By the sound of effort
And then a cry
Powerful
As air filled your lungs
For the first time
And heaven cheered
Trumpets and dancing
Thanks and praises
For fingers
Toes
Dignified chin raised to the sky
Beautiful son of Sidama
Heavenly Father
Smiles
Then furrows His brow
Knowing you will journey so young
Knowing He made you ready
Gave you the gifts you would need
Strong spirit
Sensitive heart
Keen mind
And set a guard over your life
First father sees your spirit
Names you Asregidew
First mother
A quiet gasp of love
Pride
Hope
Snuggles you close
To sleep your first sleep
The day you were born
Across the stars
A tugging in my heart
For a child
A spiritual seed
Planted
And growing
A course set
Moving
Towards each other
Through the brokenness of this world
To a birth of love
A second chance
A fusing of hearts
An introduction of souls
A grafting of the tree
By the master gardener
The healing touch
Of the great physician
Thanks and praises
For a son.
