What We Seek

Wake to the sounds so softly
Responsibility calls so eagerly
Tiny hands and tiny feet
A smile upon the face of innocent
Reaching for my smile the little one grabs softly
Learning the differences of everyday life

Reaching for their own food
Everyday is a new day
Learned more and more each day
Soft sounds escape the little ones mouth
Laughing and bouncing
Running and jumping

Helping with day to day activities
Getting to play with one another
Love and joy spread around over time
Walking new family members with four legs
Joined together by fate
One with each step in the process of life

Together as a family
We need the love to bind one another
Each of us becoming one with place
Acceptance becoming what is wanted
Slowly growing older
The days pass and before we know it we are all gone

Drawn to another life with another
Just to start the cycle again
The first cries, looking into new eyes
The feeling of everlasting unconditional love
What we were seeking all along
Now becoming true
