Snowflakes like fairies from a fissure in heaven
a fun flotilla
A daughter will fly
each generation is more
she is more than me
A son makes you smile
because now he is a man
his voice brings new joy
COEXIST: Poetry, Books, and Essays by Diane Vogel Ferri
Lovely. Do you share these with your children?
ReplyDeleteIf I don't get a chance to say it later, have a happy Thanksgiving.
That final stanza hit me with special force, given that I'm marveling over my two college-age sons as they come home for the holidays for the first time. My pride in them swells my chest so that I can barely breathe at certain moments.
ReplyDeleteThat last Haiku made me stop to comment, too. My son turns 13 in two days, and I just can't express the love and pride I have for him. I love to see him turning into a kind-hearted, thougtful, young man.
ReplyDeleteGreat poetry!
