Brian Strand Poet Rhyme

Kin To Kin

Childish eyes all bright and new,
all encompassing,alive,
unending days,years ahead,
sleep comes easy in our bed;
Taut skin,strength of vibrant youth,
old age remote and unthought,
the future is tomorrow;
Our seed into another
soon springs forth and generates
rings to the family tree,
pa to granpa,comes to be;
Then at this one step removed
we step aside and observe,
reflect,look back,not ahead..
sleep,less easy,in our bed.

Sara Kendrick September 14, 2021 at 4:37 AM It is so wonderful to see new life within our family. They are so precious. Our daughter Phyllis has a step-granddaughter which means I am now a step-great-grandmother. Doesn't seem possible but when I look at pictures of me since this malady hit. I can see it definitely is possible. I enjoyed reading your work. Sara Brian Strand September 15, 2021 at 12:53 AM Cheers Sara
