lo, and behold

Stemming from my original mission to create 365 poems. A culmination of years past and days present.

6: Within

It never occurred to me
that this was what families do.
This is what is made
and what becomes of -

What is created by us and ourselves,
Supported, unselfish and back-breaking.

But if you don't have The Instinct,
Why do that?
