When did it happen,
this feeling of
union?
No matter,
I am grateful
even so,
for my sisters
the flowers,
for my brothers
the bucks,
for my fathers
the thunder,
for my mothers
all wonder.
With them all,
I love
and live
and laugh
and play;
by them all,
I hurt
and suffer
and long
and pray.
My family
I AM.
