You were named after your father and grandfather
turning John into a trinity
of sons who have grown
and will grow again through you
to love and serve life
generously. They will teach you
how a field lies open
to the wind, a catcher's mit
to the white ball hurled
high above your small body
standing on ground
where farmers and soilders have walked
humble yet courageous, the wildflowers still
honoring their footsteps.
where trees stretch their shadows
over this same grass exhaling
Spring. Like the season, you breathe
a sweet, new history this family
will foster, record through prayer
and dreams that tremble in hands
cupping the sunlight, thanking God
for you, beautiful boy, immaculate breath
of creation.
