dream
sleep softly
my daughter
a new thing awaits you.

your day is full
of hard things
and easy things.

your life is now a circle
of taking
and of making.

soon you will know a dream
which quietly
will speak.

you will travel a road
no one knows
but you.

so be ready
and willing
and dream your dream.
