The Fruits of Love
They are as cute as colored bugs
and are worthy of many hugs.
These are the children we produce
through the women who we seduce.
An expanding population
results from exhilaration;
a thrilling moment in bed
while not caring what lies ahead.
And after these children are here
a deeper love seems to appear.
So, this reproductive system
turns out to be a real wisdom.
We can’t look in our children’s eyes
without knowing the tao is wise.
