Did I mean it?

Sisters do their best, Brothers also do their best. Everyone's trying. Roots push branches down Limbs root up before the sky Love measures through us. She keeps odd treasures In her bowl of soft moonstone. She says “They're magic.” Pure coincidence? Is there something we missed here? A prime director? Can we start over? How do I say I'm sorry; And really mean it?
