I Wonder

I sometimes wonder do I exist at all how do we know we are here? Are we a figment of our own imaginations? Wait I hear a small voice calling to me Dad, Dad can you come and play? I put my silly thoughts aside I no longer wonder I feel joy coarse through me I am his entire World, he is why I am here He grows and moves away His World has become bigger now I wonder do I exist He calls and says, Thanks Dad I need no further proof

A zillion years that pass in a breath. It is good to see them make a life. Our son is 23 and has one more year of University. He is on his way to being a Pharmacist.

Yes it is our goal for them to make their own way and someday the cycle repeats with them and we get to watch them with their children. Not a grandparent yet but I am sure that stage will open up whole new poetic possibilities.

Very nicely written. Pondering about one's existence, and could it be a figment of one's imagination? I like your observation of life. Thanks for sharing your poem Richard.
