The Family
THE FAMILY
Still came the child in all her energy and essence,
her smell of nickel and pumpkin, of lavender and bay;
in little songs she's hummed, in her oh so gentle play.
A universe herself,
before she landed here;
in radiant lovely laughter and dropped inside a tear.
Then he came too, a baby bunting blue, strong with sinew
and happy in his plans, to dig and take apart;
to see inside and quiz, and instruct his earnest heart.
He came as daddy's hope,
with a dream inside his head;
he long created plans and the dream was always said.
Lady mother, to them both,
with soft and creamy skin;
and breath to breathe inside herself to give to her and him.
She married all in hope,
for the best of happy times;
and the joy that filled her eyes, she sung in blissful lilting rhymes.
Man daddy, rugged as rock
and quiet in his thought;
could always love them all, for the secret that they brought.
He found his life in her.
She found her life in him;
they laced in focus on their love and spirit kept within.
Different in their worlds
yet cozy in their minds;
that safe would be their life, since that's the tie that binds.
Looking up to God,
then seeing in each face;
their eyes are flecked with stardust, that came awhile from space.
A family in a dream,
too tiny to be seen;
to great to know it's process in the galaxies routine.
