Poetry on roots, love, life and faith

Parental advisory

I don't mean to unnerve you
but your life is about to become
unrecognisable.
Four new limbs will arrive in your home
connected to a voice that will
shake the foundations of your world
not to mention gain a reading on the
Richter scale.
Whose heart will become the only thing
that seems to matter—
whose needs will become more important
than your own.
And. You. Won't. Care.
I hope I haven't frightened you.
I have added a warning—
sorry if I was too explicit.
