SUN MOON AND STARS
When we were children,
we thought
our father was the gold sun,
and our mother the silver moon.
Not til earth set and
turned away from his sun, did we see
she was all the diamond stars.
(to our mother and to yours)
SHE TAUGHT US
Our mother taught us
that
the ough in tough rhymes
with rough
the ough in cough rhymes
with doff
the ough in dough rhymes
with snow
the ough in bough
rhymes with now
the ough in through
rhymes with you
and she taught us
to love all beings.
