Morning Reverie
how many mornings make a life?
as little ones leave
by your footsteps
to a waiting world
and you to a working world
how many mornings
make a career or
a scholar grow
to turn a tassel
and toss a smile
at their inner self?
how many mornings lead
to the gold watch
the plaque
the days of solitude
contemplation
and quiet observation
of other people’s mornings?
