GRACE

It had been a crazy day
where my son had expanded his mind
in that creative scientific way
and I had to clean up the explosion
from the microwave

and my daughter
had stretched her ability
to be strong willed
to the point that I was
going insane

I looked at them
I could see so much of myself
in each of them
as I questioned
"Is this just a test?"

but then the sun set
I ran back to their rooms at midnight
just to make sure they were still breathing
and tucked them in gently as to not wake them

it was a quiet moment
when you look at them
and know real unconditional love

it was at that moment
when I understood
GRACE
