Francisca

 

To my daughter's sister in law

Now a full youth radiates
your delicious brown head
with a sweet confidence
your soft girlhood's face
the amorous smiling of your eyes
as windows opened in springtime
on day's tenuous colours.
As you're precious intelligent and bright
shall not fear the lifetime
with its fights
