Poem 116 – Easter

sta60005

The special time of year

Of renewal and regrowth

Of autumn shades down under

Cool and pleasant evenings.

 

Family time, getting together

A trip north, Grandson baptised

His mum also immersed into the faith

Several hours of prayer and rejoicing.

 

Time spent with eldest son

Discovering his world, his successes

Always quality time, honest frank discussion

Always in support of who and what we are.

 

Return home to eldest daughter

Two growing grandkids in tow,

Precious time spent, evening meal shared

Time to connect, time to share our stories.

 

This Easter made special with family

Emerging love, expectation, commitment

The warmth of Easter spread across and within

I have so much to be grateful for.

        You create a lot of love – the people in your life are fortunate also x

      • As a parent Pooky I learnt very quickly that your children don’t do everything you’d like them to do but if you hang in there with them and support them in any way you can you emerge with children in their thirties who each love you and I them. The ones under thirty also the same.
