Moments
© Ben Burton 7/3/2016
It's such a tender moment when a father holds his infant
As his face exudes both wonderment and joy
For in his wildest fantasies he could not really "get it"
How his love's the same for little girl or boy
It's such a trying moment when a mom drops off her toddler
At a day care while she takes care of some chores
And as she walks away she hears, "Oh no, don't leave, me Mommy!"
And her heart breaks for she knows she must ignore
It's such a special moment when the family's together
A reunion that's four generations deep
And the chatter during dinner has an echo of forever
Though the members will have changed next time they meet
