OUR CHILDREN

Uncategorized 0 Minutes

our fingers intertwined

the soft curve of a cheek against mine

my fingers in their hair

leaning, always leaning against me

 

sadness when we leave

joy when we return

faces lit and tongues unloosed

secrets in our ears

 

growing, seeking, finding

pushing, exploring, becoming

under our protection

 

knowing they are loved

letting them go

sharing doubts and hope and faith

letting them be free

I am a longtime lover of words, writing, reading. I am happily married with three children who are tip toeing with adulthood. I grew up in a musical home and was taught piano and in turn all my kids play the piano, and two of them, as well as my husband, are gifted vocalists. We love to make music and my copy of Les Miserables is falling apart from years of beautiful memories around the piano. Chopin and Jim Brickman feel like old friends I can't live without. I live in the beautiful city Denver where I am a nurse.
