Member-only story
The product of a love that will never die
Note how they are easy to overlook
Strong but fragile, resilient but breakable
The seeds of your heart left to run wild
Let them, before the wildness is banished
Rearing is much easier when you threaten the unavoidable
Mothers know that endless loss is the only criteria for parenting
Fathers know the love will always be unrequited
And all the parents learned about the small, devastating hours
Spent wiping tears while spilling them in synchronicity
Parental allusion for their little people is completely fictitious
We are all blind to the truths
Doomed only seeing the love they carry away from our hearts
As they beat outside of us
