The Tribe

You

astound me,

and there’s

a whole

tribe of you.

How did 

you

get here?

How did 

this 

happen?

Oh wait.

You

grew.

You grew

from us.

You grew

from

our mistakes.

You 

grew

from our

“too little”.

You grew

from our

trying to shape

ourselves

into something

we 

were

not.

And now,

look at

you.

Strong.

Powerful.

Amazing.

No nonsense.

You 

are

you.

And you

know what

you

want.

And 

you’re

getting it

for yourself.

Every 

day.

I look at 

you

and I wonder,

how much more magnificent

will you grow,

as already your

roots

rise above our treetops.
