We are Reminded
we are but Carriers
that our children come Through us
not From us
Born of our Bodies
so hard to Fathom
their Well being
not entirely our Responsibility
No matter the Rational
championing personality, Independent Perspective
Free Will-
Deep down
in the very Fiber of our Flesh
We will Not let go
of what originated in our Bowel
Cannot but Feel bound
to their Existence
No matter the reasoning:
“They are their Own”
from the Cavernous depths
a Primeval utterance intones:
“They Are Mine”
