My Little Bodi and Rica
Its silly I know but I have two adopted little ones
dropped from a tree, forest persons, in Borneo,
they were so small and frail, starving babies
one kept in a cage, one dropped from a palm tree
rescued to a special forest and hut in a sanctuary
there humans feed and strengthen them with leaves
helping their arms and legs lengthen and grow
even as babies their eyes, were wrinkled and old
and although I will never hold them from so far I know
I am content to help feed them to watch them grow
to give to the earth and to our cousins from long long ago
