parents

parents are those
who cared
took the chance
to share

self esteem and language

dna and family stuff
of which you can

never get enough

approved by birth parent
seized by baby
accepted by ancestors

sure, not maybe

do as they ask

but don't delay

on saying what

you have to say

constant connection

continuous call
parents are there

to witness it all

cherish them wisely

learn and teach

let them know
you're in their reach

////


little you, in them, waiting your turn

being them, acting their lives
knowing you are the one who kept them alive


cell theory, a body gives

a cell to grow


what are you made of, just a part of a whole


tiny bit of a tiny bit

tiny bit of a tiny bit


how can you function with so small an amount


making the World for your own account

striving to see the best in yourself
showing the ancestors you care about
what's best in their view


while accommodating your own piece of soul
