Children

Whether you have them or don't; love them or loathe them...they're everywhere. The world of the future...always becoming, as someone wise once said. Any thoughts?

our hope, 5 children...
our bodies honor our love
this life, and the next

just a little sprout
part of those two bigger trees
joy of watching growth

they are our futures
packed into small packages
help me to rock on

(rocking chair that is)

they are each unique
DNA or not, so what?
all children are loved

First kids, now adults,
Each as unique as before,
Echoing what was.

not only what was
but what blood line has in store
history repeats
