Passages--my children

Four children
Scattered like stars
around the skies... .
Each in their own universes
gleaming with inner light.
All different, but akin
to Genesis.
Not light years apart
but gene years close
in spite of journeys
in time and space.
Germany, Colorado, Texas, Iowa.
I watch in wonder and tears,
overflowing in thanksgiving.
Mortality and immortality.
