Shaping her World

Maura Gage Cavell

On a rooftop,
high above a city,
a father and daughter
gaze at stars
through a telescope.
The open universe
amazes her.
They look, it seems,
at the heavens,
through an open door
or window,
seeing something
beyond out limits
and every day concerns.
He teaches her something
of discovering, exploring.
Her open eyes
and expression
reveal amazement.
Each child should
have a father
like that--
one who opens up
the world
and gives her the stars--
even if all the windows
in his house
are covered
with cracks.
With his love
he gives her
bright stars.
