A song for Lili


Hey, you are finally out, Lili!

Welcome to your new home.

Sorry, it is not yet as funny

As it was inside mum’s.

 

But we promise you, Lili,

As if you were the one

We needed to make us act,

That we’ll be strong

 

And preserve beauty, Lili,

For you while you're gone,

Growing up to be another

Singing your own song.

 

 

  

 

Lili Varsányi was born on the 2nd of May, and I’m thinking of her as one thinks of

Spring (and jumps), when flowers bloom out of intelligent communication with arthropods.
