Notes About The Poem

Conversation With My Daughter-In English and French

Why the translation? Because French is a pretty language.
mon petit chou is a term of endearment “my little cabbage.”

Leaning in—
Listening
To small things,
Big issues.
Work consumes
Your time.

Occasionally,
A buffet
From
My little cabbage.
Small talk,
Big conversation—
About Jesus.

**
Se penchant—
Écoute
Aux petites choses,
Gros problèmes.
Le travail consomme
Ton temps.

Parfois,
Un buffet
De
Mon petit chou.
Banalités,
Grande conversation—
A propos de Jésus.
