Missing image

 

I remember watching you both

walking along hand in hand


you were nearing the end of life
she was but a fledgling

learning to fly


both taking small steps

but for different reasons


I remember thinking

you were sending
vibrations of wisdom
from your worn hands

into her tiny palms

      Thank you my friend. I am debating whether I need to go to A&E. I seem to be getting worse.

  • Wow, this piece is very well done I love the imagery involved and it has quite the story to it. It offered a slight mix of emotions, both happy and a little sad. Great poem!

    Good luck, thanks for entering.

  • a good poem, ah such is the way of the world, as one journey nears its end another just begins - family i think of here, the love in generations.

    Thank you for your entry, though.
