A Boy Named Sawyer

We were love 
from long ago 
hearts melt 
and mend 
we grew together 
apart 
love divine
creating
a branch 
on the tree of life 
she is yours 
and mine 
her own 
strong and beautiful 
the essence 
powerful female 
capturing me 
from first breath, 
first touch 
of lips to breast, 
her smile 
reflecting 
generations past
my mother's eyes
your father's frown
from you and me 
to her and he 
another branch sprouts
the first signs
of spring 
magnificent flutter
of an angel's wings
we welcome
a boy named Sawyer
