Mother and child out for an early morning stroll, San Miguel de Allende, Guanajuato, México
 

I hold her close, this daughter of mine,
I hold her close to my heart.
Lest something evil tear her away,
Or even tear her apart.
 
The pangs I endured when she was born
Were nothing to me, for love
Hopes and endures and believes all things,
Empowered by God above.

Jerry Kilbride’s haiku about a wheelchair child inspires me to write a new haiku about a child in a mask:
 

the wheelchair child
reaches for bubbles
she just blew
 
~~ ~~ ~~
 


With her magic mask,
a girl sees fiery comets
whooshing through the streets.
