Analysis of Beautiful Boy (for Jax)
Daniel Millard 1976 (Medford, OR)
As you rock
Back and forth
I see God
In you
God
Holding you
And I see that you
Are God
In flesh and bone
As this beautiful expression
You are the Beloved
And none of our souls
Will ever be the same as
Before we knew and
Loved you
