Never Let Go
Influential Poem Of A Father's Love For His Daughter
One by one.
Take one step at a time,
Said her daddy, teaching her to walk,
The little girl only one year old.
She looked up and smiled
And let go of his hand.
Now seventeen years old,
Out driving in the snow.
Driving too fast, hitting a pole.
After getting the news,
Her dad rushes to her.
Hearing the terrible news:
She may never walk again.
One by one, my dear.
Take one step at a time,
Said her daddy teaching
Her to walk again.
She looked up with a smile,
As she did sixteen years ago and
Let go of his hand for the last time.

The Siren's Purse
It was dumb luck that nobody was killed, though to hear the rivermen bragging over their spirits, it was testament to their rare skill. The siren had been wandering the silver gloom of the icebound estuary, weakened and alone. Had they met her in the seething wilderness of the open sea in the company of her sisters, their survival would have been a fireside tale wondrous enough to last them the rest of their lives.
