	Sonnet for a Two-Year-Old: for H.K. by Melody Lewis Hello there, little one with sunlit hair, What’s new for you today? What fresh word sings upon your unaccustomed tongue? What brings delight to your admiring eyes? What rare and lovely treasure keeps you still aware of wondrous magic hid in homely things-- balloon or ball, a leaf, some cloth that clings, a wooden spoon, deep carvings on my chair? Too soon the years will pass, the world grow tame. Like us, will you then seek this pristine joy in frantic entertainments? Will you claim life barren? May some child with simple toy restore to you these first delights, repay the joy your homespun toys bring us today. Used by permission.
