Isolated from family, friends and the world
Living in your own little corner of self
Narrow-minded and judgmental and cynical
Becoming the person you chose to be
Until the day she bounced onto your knee
Breaking the crust surrounding your heart
The vacuum you worked so hard to achieve
Shattered by a simple gurgle and a giggle
Hard to recall the way you once were
Seeing you with her in the quiet before dawn
Your world ever changed by her grasp on your finger
An abandoned miracle gifted especially for you
