Just as this mamawatches her baby;
just as my friend
gets up every hour
to check on her chicks;
just as a parent sighs,
watching the school bus
pull away from the driveway
for the very first time --
just so, you watch us,
protect us and guide us
hold us and ache for us,
sending out blessings
in ever-growing circles,
blessing all creation
with your tender care.
