Because They Are Ours Poem by Kimberly Burnham

Because they are mine
I value these feelings
these needs

Because they are yours
I love the way your hair smells
and the flow of your clothes

Because they are ours
I adore these children
and the people they are becoming

Because they are mine
these words will fall
and soar in a particular way

Because they are yours
I give importance
to these words over those

Because they are ours
I look out at these tree
and they are loved by me

Because they are theirs
what will become of them
how precious are they
in this world of mine,
ours and theirs
