- <p class="verse">
- To be the parent node, or the source of life<br />
- For something beyond what you yourself contain,<br />
- Is a special position, in a world of relationship.<br />
- <br />
- The reason for existence for something so small,<br />
- And the source of a desperate persistence in the world,<br />
- Soon strong enough to declare itself independent.<br />
- <br />
- Of the source of life, only the parent knows<br />
- How fragile the connection can feel sometimes—<br />
- How tenuous the lines that draw the child node back.<br />
- <br />
- No parent can insure life against tragedy, and no<br />
- child node can escape the truth of it's source.<br />
- This is all we're given to go on, and yet we go.<br />
