on watching my children

held
here

watching
new innocence
enter the world

another attempt

to see
and love
the world whole

untainted
soft and sharp
in their wit

both true and sincere
at the same time

they have
not lost the edges
like i

for me
every thing
is a balance

a world full of so many
that are neither all good
nor all bad

as a result
I expect less
out of most
that I meet

my children
still expect the best
and are thrilled
with whatever they get

and we both
get what we expect
