To my children, if I have them

a rainbow is a treasure
a smile is rare
a friend is rarer
but don’t change your face
or change your form
just because some rare friend
with a rainbow for a smile
thinks you should; light
the night with a heart surrendered
not to some cave wall
shadow, reflection
of another person’s picture of you,
but to light, to truth
whatever the cost, and to love,
whatever the loss.
