Offsprings

both of you are our ink

of thoughts

yet

you are more than

verses to us, our sons.

Your advent

awards our nights with

twinkling stars

sewn together like

a lei of gold medals

around our exalted hearts.

now dawn appears

with your shadows

yet you’re more than

sunshine to us-

you’re your mother’s gifts

to me; you’re my gifts to her,

you’re we-

the breaths of life,

the emblem

of mom and dad’s

everlasting love.
