How Did They Do It?

Constrained by resources
Never enough to go around
Didn’t let the plane hit the ground
How kept it flying, what myriad sources?
Dad and mom amalgamating forces
Made a tesseract with love abound
Step-by-setp, took family upbound
Maybe that’s why fewer divorces?
Glued together, bonded in love
Arguments not nasty, gentle as dove
Thoughts in sync like hand-in-glove
Home, not house, that they wove
Respect they had, opinions they didn’t shove
Equal always, never tried to be above
