Relatives

 

Blood binds wounds and opens hurts..

Relatives are a blessing or a living curse.

Parenting, no break from: raise and tend,

Trial and error, we don’t know which or when.

 

As mothers we go on nurturing.

Children yearn, and learn discerning.

Fathers are baffled by it all.

It’s a dance, a stumble, a magical ball. 

 

Not measuring wonder at: this or that,

Amazement, kisses, and caveats.

Time marches onward until it’s all gone.

Love softens our pain and helps us belong.
