I do know, my father,
Responsibilities of moments
That drink our lives.
I do know,
In a different way.

I do know, my sister,
The billions of moments
That become our lives.
I do know,
In a different way.

I do know, my sister,
Of involvements of moments
That color our lives.
I do know,
In a different way.

I do know, my brother,
The fragments of moments
That deviate our lives.
I do know,
In a different way.

I do know, my other,
The torments of moments
That shatter our lives.
I do know,
In my different way.

I do know, my brother,
True fascinations of moments
That create our lives.
I do know,
In a different way.

I do know, my sister,
The entertainment of moments
That skitter our lives.
I do know,
In a different way.

I do know, my mother,
Of decision-wise moments
That sustained our lives.
I do know,
In a different way…
