Jason Upton Dear John
do you remember when
our mothers met
mama told me that they laughed
is that a sign for us
or a sign for them
when unborn babies testify
carried between the earth and sky
sons of eternity in time
we were born
born of spirit
born of water
born of blood
born
child of freedom
child of promise
child of God
do you remember what
our fathers spoke
silence broke down on our knees
there was power in their prayer
remember what they said
they said they're the children of their dreams
words of acceptance lit the sky
visions of heaven filled our eyes
