Love from Across the Miles to Myles

Poem written by Peter's mother, "Gramma"

Love From Across the Miles to Myles 

Little Myles, we think of you

With wonder, trust and longings too

As first sounds come to infant ears

May they be those that cast out fears. 

May others hear your infant cries,

Oh Father, move, that none pass by,

May they wrap you in bunting, tight,

Singing softly, “It’s all right.” 

Do you hear our faith-trust-sigh?

That soon dear Myles, you’ll come nigh? 

Little one, what do you see ~

Mosquito net or leafy tree?

Oh God of lightness, bring the day,

Keep to him, darkness at bay. 

Little one, what do you feel,

The touch of us, for this we kneel?

We pray for those who care for you,

So our embrace won’t seem so new. 

Little one, our love grows strong,

This lullaby, our hopeful song.

We wait and watch with grateful hearts,

For you, this gift, which God imparts. 

Do you hear our faith-trust-sigh

That soon dear Myles, you’ll come nigh? 

With love and anticipation,

Gramma & Grampa
