Dedication

If dedication ever was A flood goes out your way If time could stop just because I'd wish the while to stay More grand than any setting sun Surpassing any sight More dear to me than anyone A circle of delight Of mothers and of sisters Of daughters and of theirs Of cousins, aunts and nieces The mother of my heirs And those of you who volunteered By marriage or divorce A special dedication Goes out to you, of course Legitimate or otherwise Once or twice removed Abandoned or misguided Or otherwise behooved If someone else decided To turn you into kin You might as well face it You're in the game to win http://mike-martin.net/The Girls http://www.poetrysoup.com/poem/the_girls_696236
