To Earth
To my mother and father

Falling to earth
A fragment of the heavens

So small, so fragile
A breakable peice of life

Your hands shaped and molded
Holding together what threatened to
Fall apart

Your hearts binding
A creature of light

You taught love
You gave strenghth
You nurtured growth

And through you
I find my link to the heavens from
Which
I fell
