Visit from small friend

Yesterday I had a visit from a friend
with her small son of four months,
whom I had seen growing inside her
and held when he was tiny.
So he sat in his pram
and I sat on a chair
and we looked at each other for a long time.
Very thoughtfully, very seriously.
And then he smiled;
A wide happy generous gaze —
ushering memories of deep seas
curling waters
sun glinting
birds singing
winds gently blowing
most beautiful world
all things good.
