Four sons we dedicated
At our small hippie church.
All four grandparents there.
I wanted a special dedication for Caleb.
All four grandparents were in town
One night, and so we gathered
At the home of his nativity,
With our biological family
And our Virginia family.
Some of both families attended
The dedication of our oldest son
And youngest son.
We sang songs and read Scripture,
Said the same beautiful prayers,
And then talked and ate and laughed.
It was all very me, very us,
A celebration of the child
God has given.
