           Child Care Center


     Wiggling,squirming,shrieking

       teeming with life and purpose

       chaotic overlay of small demands

       urgently pleaded.

     Into this maelstrom I have come

       bringing a gift to share

       the need to nurture.

     Adorable and vital every one

       I would not choose a favorite.

       But how to share love sliced so thin

       it desiccates and blows away

       before it nourishes?
