wondering what has taken place
in our lives
up to this moment...
3 of us here where once were two
and though I cannot see everyone presently
both present here with me
presents they both be
so I lie awake and contemplate
how to make dollars out of the few
senses I have
intentions clad in my best clothes
and though the stress shows on my temples
I wash away the gray with tears
happiness escapes my eyes
and it is the first time I have cried...
not in fear
perhaps simply foreshadowing
responsibility placed upon me by our Father
Father I too...will be
inhibitions appear but I look beyond them
look to she...sleeping
I, awake
no mistakes in this life
ours more like an unexpected plan
still the expectations of a man
I plan to fulfill
as one is supposed to
so close to God...I reach out
to touch his divine creation
and the movement across her mid-section
a most blessed response
a key in the riddle of eternity...
we 3, infinitely connected
A family
