Looking Ahead to the Life of the Child in a High Chair

May this sit-up-straight posture stay like a brace (hold spine close and safe)

Those eyes flicking right to left slow their pace and land in charge

How large that frame may be depends on satiety and detachment

Inadvertently still while capturing others' attention and hearts

Spooling generosity (that wealth) beneath the span of imagery

To decipher and spoon feed back to others who may be blanketed by love

Leading self and perhaps others or simply (invisibly) influencing the world

Reducing likelihood of savagery and lower-case self-ing voraciously 

For there is no need to possess to hurt to waste wakefulness 

There is a sky just right for this lean looming (being) cherished as it bestows

Birds whose names the child has learned from early-ing in life as if a priest

Is this one allowed to embody prayer apart from rite from ritual 

Sparing all others the sparks of proclamation (better to look out and around)

And will this little one have a name that's known with being sensed (palpably)
