I Am The Fruit

there is a rhyme and a reason to all things under the sun

I am the fruit of my father's loins
grown with loving care of his hands
fertilized in his heart by blood and  sweat
the tears were my mothers, watering
I drank deep of all of these, blossoming


I am the fruit of my children's heart
expanded by their dependence on me
seasoned in nonjudgmental eyes
washed by the unconditional love
I drank deep of all of these, blossoming


I am the fruit of my grandchildren's wish's
spoiled on the vine by words of," Grand said"
bruised by hugs and sweet innocent kisss
these are the children I had dreamt of
I drank deep of all of these, and bloomed
