A home, a hearth, and something worth defending?
Is someone getting broody over there?
Secure genetic legacy unending?
Or else, it’s more for family – you’re intending
to lead a joyous band of offspring fair,
who’ll often make you laugh (and sometimes swear);
a life of love (and frequent moneylending)?
A small remembrance will secure my blessings,
since – though your love’s a fortress, all-embracing –
you can’t protect them each and every minute.
I’ll keep an eye, and see how they’re progressing
along life’s shining walkway, always facing
the dangers of this world and what is in it.
AWB
