I’ve 7 Babies
They’re born of you and me and
a woman I know
They’ve inherited
our courage and our kindness
They do love the deep
Battling big dragons,
they can lose their compass mark
-but rise each morning
Each epic, wide-eyed
one of them knows their value
and teaches us ours
Rocking their theme-songs
like a soundtrack in their souls,
their every breath chimes
The colors they keep
ebb and flow and radiate
from their words, their walk
They don’t question love
They live with ferocity
They know what they know
