For parents,
 the birth                 miraculous event.
 Old myths say
 a magical                the child
 gifts of human character.

 I would          her gift
 to each          the world
 would be                          so indestructable
 that it            throughout life,
 as an unfailing antidote
 against boredom                        later years,
 against the                            things artificial,
 against alienation                  of strength.
