Gershon Wolf Poet Free verse

My Gaze Wonders

I gaze into my sons' lives
  and see myself
One's a fitness trainer
  So was I at his stage
One's a finance man
  Ditto for me at 24
One's a soldier
  Now that's what I
  secretly yearned to be
My youngest son 
  is the 'real me' ~
  tho' he's no forever
    wannabe

Arturo Michael August 21, 2020 at 8:11 AM The free soul of a wanderer...Nice one Gershon Wolf August 22, 2020 at 7:40 PM Yeah, you're right. Unfortunately my feet stayed glued, while my mind wandered and wondered. Oh, well... Thanks, Arturo!

Kim Rodrigues August 21, 2020 at 5:31 AM Very nice, my friend! Love to see what Our children do with their lives. Blessings to all of them. Do any of them write? Gershon Wolf August 21, 2020 at 12:00 PM Thank you, Kim... And yes, it is interesting to see how our kids 'pan out...' As for writing, they all write really well, but so far nothing creative. The fitness guy has published training manuals for kettle bells and such. We'll see what happens down the road... :) gw

Michael Tor August 21, 2020 at 5:28 AM Proud dad you are Gershon... Gershon Wolf August 22, 2020 at 7:39 PM You are an ace detective, Michael, and you are spot on. My kids are truly my pride and joy. Lucky me, Gershon
