A Poem
A poem is a little girl
Helping Mommy with the dishes
Or teaching her how to use
A computer app
A little boy at play
In his sandbox
Or the games apps on his i-pad
A poem is
Mommy kissing Dad
It’s the sun rising in the morning
A harvest moon at night
A poem is twinkling stars
Over motor cars
On bustling highways
It’s city lights and
Airplanes and satellites at night
Aurora Borealis unexpected
A poem is rhyme without reason
And deer out of season
It’s puppy dogs at play
And swans in flight
It’s all of the good things in life
And some of the bad
For a little boy it’s the moments
Shared with Dad
A poem is a vast unending river
Roaming quietly through the day
And growing quiet in the dusk
As it gently threads its present
To the past and a poem is
You in the fullness of life
