another chance to get it right

the driver for the child

a driver lives within us
who loves a child
and sends our hopes and dreams
out into possibility
so that who we are
can find ourselves truest,
when out of the power of our adulthood,
even with the lessening years before us,
we believe in the future enough--
and fate allows our beliefs enough--
that a child can be conceived
and the world can get another chance to get it right,
with possibility born to parents who love to love.
