foster daughter [from your foster dad; fosterling daughter]
such a tiny person
but now
the carrier is too light
the night too still
and my lap is too cold
i'm small, too [now I'm very small, too] or [i have become // very small
remember
dear one
on the day you see yourself
in this vast, vast place [in this vast creation] or [small // against this vast world]
that consequence
is by love
not size [not measure]
and rest again with me
in the warm lap
of the Father's infinite love [of the Father]

Small
such a tiny person
but now
the carrier is too light
the night too still
and my lap is too cold
and i
i have become
very small, too
remember
dear one
on the day you see yourself
small
against this hard place [or -- in loss -- or just leave this line off]
that consequence
is by love
not size
and rest again with me
in the warm lap
of the infinite love
of the Father
[of us both]
