Empty Nest

Empty is nest
birds have flown west
for money's quest
we are lonesome.

No other sounds
Now peace around
Hear our own pounds
Peace is irksome

Andrea Dietrich Date: 12/9/2014 11:05:00 PM oh dr. Ram, I rather enjoyed the empty nest!!! And now I get to have the grandkids over but only until they start to annoy me. hahaha. Good poem. Login to Reply

Charles Henderson Date: 12/9/2014 4:14:00 PM Yes Dr. Ram, this is something we all have to deal with in our own way, if we have children. Advice, sympothy, never seem to help much. I have tried to transform the leaving into a celebration of passage. After all we aren't really letting go of the young birds, only allowing them to fly. Login to Reply

Sara Kendrick Date: 12/9/2014 9:21:00 AM Enjoyed reading this one today..The empty nest is a terrible adjustment for the parents and for the child(only the child usually is not aware of theirs and the parents)..Reads like a winner to me..Thanks for the visits to my p age..Sara Login to Reply
