We Protect Our Young
We Protect Our Young
Eagle opens my heart.
Sitting on my right shoulder
his wing across my back,
he says quietly,
we protect our young.
My heart opens.
I think of my children
grown and in the world.
It resonates.
We protect our young.
My heart opens.
I know he means me.
I am his young.
I’m deepened.
I breathe and just be.
