Youth~ A Collaboration by Alyssa Maxon and Alyson Tockstein

Long wispy clouds

Watch over the sea

Much as a mother over her child

As she hangs mobile up over his cradle

And the whales dance in the air

Singing like rain drops falling on the sea

A lullaby echoing on the cliffs

Whispering through the trees

Heard throughout the world

As the laugh of a child

Bounces through the springtime

In wonder of the world

Like a newborn deer

Big eyes open wide

Like a child’s eyes at Christmas time

Giving light to the weary world
