Symmetry

Yesterday, my child succumbed to your power,
and cried
Yesterday, my tear stained body responded with gratitude,
when you held me tight
Yesterday, I was lost in a sea of stressful waves;
so you took me....
to where you knew I needed to be,
and in the taking, you too were cleansed
for as badly as I need to shed tears,
you need to create them;
thus there is symmetry
I give, you take
I take while you give
I take what you give
and in the giving....
we,
each of us,
Live.
