Our Perfect Circle

A Poem Dedicated to Blended Families
Written for my Mother



Stars spread their fingers
and shed it's dust upon the earth
A wise man collected the dust
and sprinkled it around him

As the sun rose
it's rays forged six golden letters
The man carried his letters
and gave them to a woman

No longer mine nor yours
together they held their pieces
of the alphabet until
God touched these two to be one
Through the One
we became many

The seasons form a perfect circle
giving the earth the gift of life
The many excepted this gift
and stepped inside the circle

We held our star dust and sun ray letters
until they formed a beautiful word
                    FAMILY
The many were either instant or by birth
Because some are by blood but all are with love
