Clay

Her hands make life
Out of dead clay,
And she doesn’t realize
The massive magic contained
Inside her fragile frame. 

How could such a small girl dare
To fight against entropy and death?

Each of her children takes
The shreds of her loving soul,
And carry deep in their cores
A piece of her infectious joy
Into the future with them.

They void never had a chance
She was already eternal.
