In you- In them
When you told me, Father,
that:
all of them
have a piece of
you,
in all of them
I thought you meant
that they had the propensity
to do good.
They do-
but there is
more of you, you put in them,
than you thought:
They can do so much,
but do so little.
Break your back,
even when you look most brittle.
They give trials-
more than your own.
They don't battle for others-
only wage wars on their own souls.
But fate be funny:
neither of you came,
but you all showed up.
