~
they all arrived
delivered as hoped
boy girl boy girl, with
me guessing wrong
four times,
we gave them sensible
biblical names that we
knew they would thank
us for later in life,
how different they are
from the same stock,
it’s fascinating
how mother nature has
her own way of moulding
shapes and sizes and how
one’s love for a child
easily expands to serve
four without any change
in its depth or potency,
now fully grown and with
broods of their own, the
perpetually infinite wheel
revolves once more,
new names, shapes and
sizes and best of all, new
sources of love, created
from who knows where?
