On Being A Parent

On Being A Parent

We mortals
Don't create souls.
                    You
Have your children
For a season
                 and then
                 they
Are released
               from your
Responsibility
           
                 possibly
       to guide
       your soul
       for a season
       too
                  or more
                  as we
       season
Each other
               in
The process
               of
Completion.
