we made six halves
three new wholes
birthright powers
and passionate traits
two bold cultures
gave sumptuous arc
to the edges of Europe
her eastern and
southernmost reaches
come finely aligned
find their futures
emphatic Americans
taking their place
in a turbulent history
still in the writing
two daughters
one son share a
sibling nobility each
with deep well defined
character each a
contributor giving the
lie to gen x sociology
standing their opulent
ancestries proud
I love it when kids break through cultural barriers to become who they were meant to be.

‘we made six halves

What a fabulous way to describe the creative act! And from these wholes, new halves and further wholes made – the heritage goes on. Whole new wonderful beings! 🙂 Blows my mind with the joy of it. Proud dad, Paul, and rightly so. 🙂
