We love,
because
He first
loved us.
[1 John 4:19]
***********************
(Suspended in something
warm, and very lovely.)
(Hear a strong heart
beating.)
(Tiny palms clench,
and unclench.)
"I love You,
Abba."
[TEARS MIST.]
"I love you,
more than you
will ever know,
My precious.
Now...
go back to sleep."
(Wake up.)
"I love you,
Abba."
[TENDER SMILE.]
"I love you
too, My little
kinder."
(Smile.)
(Suck thumb.)
(Go back to sleep.)
"Abba?
Abba?"
"Yes, Mein kinder?"
"Are you THERE?"
"I never leave you,
Mein kinder."
"Am I going to be BORN?"
[GENTLE NOD.]
"Yes,
My child.
Soon.
Very soon."
"I wanna be with YOU!"
"You will be:
after a little while."
"Can I be with You,
NOW?"
"Remember, child:
I am always with you.
You are right
Here,
in the Palm
of My Hand."
(Squirm.)
(Stretch.)
(Nudge mother
in the side.)
"Why am I being BORN?"
"I have something,
I want you to do."
"WHAT?"
"Something,
only you can do."
"I'm not MUCH."
[TENDER CHUCKLE.]
"You are My beloved.
And, I have a special
task, for you
to do."
"After I DO it,
can I be with YOU,
again, ABBA?"
[TENDER NOD.]
[TEARS FILLED WITH SORROW.]
(Suck thumb, again.)
(Take thumb, out.)
"WHEN?"
[TEARS MIST, AGAIN.]
"Soon.
But, remember:
when I say
'WRITE!',
I want you to
write."
"What's THAT?"
[TEARFUL KISS.
ON TINY HEAD.]
"You'll see.
Now......
go back to sleep."
"I love You,
Abba."
"I love you too,
little one."
[SILENCE.]
(Anne Frank is born
in Frankfurt am Maine,
Germany,
on June 12, 1929.)

For you created
my inmost being,
You knit me together
in my mother's womb.
