Bearing Gifts
To choose not to have a child
because you fear the future is
to misunderstand what it means
to be human. To have a child
is an act of hope, the most
humanly vulnerable act of hope.
We cannot give the world to
a child. The world is the world.
We give our child to the world,
our golden gift, the only gift
we have to give, and hope and
hope it is enough.
What is our alternative?
No bright star? An empty house?
