Alone on this journey
Solitary and connected
I construct myself
With pre-owned parts
Recycling love given by
My Mother
My Father’s respect for the
Power of words.
As a work in progress
I am sculpted by
One daughter’s passionate
Impatience
By another’s strong support.
Having both received
And given birth
I marvel as the
Process continues to unfold.
We create and are created
Each by the other.
