아기를 안으면

                                                                              아기를 안으면

                                                                               

                                                                                                 권 영 상

 

                                                                              너를

                                                                              꼬옥 안으면

                                                                              내 가슴이

                                                                              가득히 차오른다.

 

                                                                              요만큼만 벌리는

                                                                              내 두 팔로도

                                                                              나는

                                                                              세상을 안은 듯이 뿌듯하다.

 

                                                                              이 두 팔의

                                                                              안쪽으로

                                                                              샘물처럼 찬찬히 고여오는

                                                                              기쁨.

 

                                                                              너를 꼬옥 안은

                                                                              내 두 팔 안에

                                                                              눈부신

                                                                              아침이 있다.
