Mother Ocean

my children lived inside of me so young they were inside the sea they were so tiny and hard to see they had many hands so they could hold no mouths were needed for I kept them fed eyes were useless for each book I read my children lived inside of me and they would grow inside the sea they've gotten bigger to compete there fins were used to help them swim once they had eyes it was hard to make friends each mouth was hungry and hard to feed my children lived inside of me so large they were inside the sea they swam furiously and caused many waves some have gotten to stay to small the big ones would eat too many of them then the big ones would fall for there was nothing left my children lived inside of me but then one day they came to leave they grew some arms which came with legs they forgot to swim and walked instead they were given great minds and there talking spread they destroyed life to build a living my children lived inside of me and they forgot that they were free but hopefully they will one day come to there mother to see if she's okay for I have gotten sick and so have your brothers that stayed remember we are one in many different ways
