Sandra Haight Poet Haibun

Happy News

I had a dream way back in February of this year, regarding my first
grandchild- a boy, now twenty-nine and married.  My dream recalled
a memory from long ago, when I first met him- held him in my arms,
after flying cross-country, East to West, in such joyous anticipation. 
I soon wrote a poem on that vivid dream- of that treasured memory, 
and I emailed it to him.  The following day, he answered with a call to
elatedly share splendid news! "Dear Gram, you'll have that gift again-
we are so pleased to tell you- a great-grandma in August you will be!"

my first great-grandchild
overjoyed to meet her soon-
child of my child's child
