Children never see
the big picture.
Just the immediacy of "Hear me now!"
I know their anger.
Know it well.
The constant decisions and indecisions.
"Am I loved?"
"Am I loved?"
That rages under ever conversation.
What can I say to placate them?
"I love you! I love you all!"
But the facts and figures don't always
Fall to this one or that one's favor.
The perception just lends agitation.
And I know, one day, one day soon,
With God's grace, they too
Will find themselves in my place.
And I laugh.

למה רגשו גוים... בני אתה אני היום ילדתיך (תהלים ב:א,ז)
Why do the nations assemble... you are my son, today I gave birth to you. (Psalms 2:1,7)
