Kiel! Our Child

In the distant crystal sky of blue
A dot of black emerges
Of what matter, it remains a mystery
Swiftly like an eagle, it flies
Surely it is drawing nigh

Is that the sound of a heart beating?
Oh!
What excitement, what joy
Music is in the air
And butterflies begin to sing

Nearer and nearer
On clouds whiter than snow
A trumpet jingles
And feet of glowing silver appear
That resonates with another joyful hymn
And arms of tender steel drew forth
The clouds came to a halt

Excitement blossomed
And in Paradise
A Voice much sweeter whispered
“You shall be my own”
And trumpets roared harmoniously
“I will keep you from harm’s way”
And the Dark Knight vanished into oblivion

As the song gradually ebbs to its unending end
With delicate raw radiance
And a covenant of assurance
He stepped forward
Into strange new world
Of inevitable uncertainties

The butterflies sang anew
And a sweet sharp voice cried out
A call for his own to reach him
To embrace him for he knew nothing of this world

Love reached out with much compassion
“Yes, you are our incarnation
Come rest in our arms
For thou shall be called
Kiel Elishua Gabriel Prai”
