Rating: G.
Summary: Gail on her children.
Date: 2032
Notes: I wanted to write a sonnet.
Some things don't change, eternal as the night
Velvety black, and sprinkled o'er with stars
Some things don't stay, as morning's shifting light
Plays o'er the city, striking sparks off cars.
So the children, rising suns, do grow
From babyhood, sweet-smelling, chubby, warm
To childhood, skinned knees, lessons to know
To teenagers, confused as they transform.
And then adults, my children, every one--
My daughter, loved and loving, fierce and strong;
My sweet, calm son, my son though not my son;
My youngest, brave and true, where she belongs.
Some things will change: children will always grow.
Some things won't change: my love will never go.
