My children

CLE

Free verse
Being thrown from the chaos of dark.
Wonder if they know?

There the very reasons for my being.
Purpose
Reason for my heart opening with love
Reason for my senile-isms
Reasons for my smiles.
Oh loud laughters too.

Reasons

My purpose is to live for me
But really.  
It's for you

My saviors

Wonder if they ever will know
The reason I finally commit ,
To all life's little joys.
Reason for everything my daughter's and my boys.
