"People say he has my ears," I tell you,

and we all laugh

because he has your ears

and your eyes and your blood

the cord that holds us together

is him 

and whether he knows or not, yet

his family is deep and wide and beautiful

for a moment 

I am looking in two sets of crystal blue eyes

two dimpled chins

the same rosebud mouth I see every day, today I see on you

because he is part of you

he holds my hand

he holds all our hearts

we will always be connected
