Selfish Me

I've heard people say that it's selfish to grow up and never have a child. While some people just want to enjoy their adulthood "unencumbered" by the immeasurable responsibility of raising children, others consider this to be selfish.
I have a daughter who is seven months old, and whom I just rocked to sleep for the 100th time. I also have a 3-year-old daughter, and it's likely that I'll have a third someday. I can say, without question, that having a child is the absolute most selfish thing a person could ever do.

Poetry Is In.

Poetry is such sweet genius,
When it's an unloading of life into words.
The warmth of my daughter's soft head nuzzling my shoulder
Is a source of my own personal creative reintroduction to the world.
