Innocence, Courage, and My Sabine – Monochromes in a Colourful Mind

How my heart swells with pride

And my soul overflows with amazement

For my fearless child, so young and so brave

Who embraced danger with open arms

I remember that day at the reptile zoo

When she stood before the pythons

Five slithering serpents, coiled and ready

Their eyes fixed on my child, fearless and steady

I wondered for her safety, for her fears

But she stood there, unafraid, unyielding

And as the zookeeper draped them over her

My heart raced, my pride welling in my throat

Then my child, genuinely laughed and smiled

As they wrapped themselves around her

And in that moment, I saw pure joy

Radiating from her, like a beacon in the dark

Brightly she shone, my amazing child

With a courage beyond her years

And as I watched her closely, I knew

That nothing could ever dim her light

She was fearless, she was strong

Her love and joy knew no bounds

And in her, I found a kind of inspiration

That words can never truly express.
