Through screams and strength fueled by love
we are taken from the security of our Mother's womb
and forced to place our Carbon footprint
on a world that is much larger than our imagination
On the outside, we are small, fat, beautiful beings.
But on the inside, we hold the makings of epics and classics
and other beings.
Our tiny feet and chubby cheeks are fussed over
but no one thinks of the future
in which we will make the earlier generation proud
just as often as we disappoint them
They know that we will laugh and they know that we will cry.
They know that we will love
and through that love
we will hurt, but grow...
