Sandra Haight Poet Rhyme

Embrace - Release

Embrace, we did- 
  our children growing up;
    well-blessed with three- 
      sweet nectar in our cup.
      How soon those empty nests 
    did change our days;
  release, we did- 
and let them fly- with praise.

Embrace, we did- 
  with five grandkids are blessed
    But too, those years 
      went fast- another test.
      Soon, empty nests, two-fold-
    they flew away.
  Release, we did- 
still praise them every day.

Embrace, we did-
  dear great-granddaughter's birth!
    Our time again 
      to fill our lives with mirth.
      We pray time slows, 
    as she is growing fast;
  Embracing still- 
we want this joy to last.

But, as we age- 
  someday, they'll say goodbye-
    Release- their turn- 
      when we, to heaven fly.
      And so is life- 
    embrace, and then let go;
  all cycles must complete
the way they flow.
