Notes About The Poem

- Our Children - Today, Yesterday, Tomorrow -

Each child is unique
there is room for them all
Like sparkling pearls
sprinkled over the sky

With angel dust
to luminous memories
- an important first step
- the first tooth
- dressed in a feather-light summer dress
- the taste of the first snow

The play, the reality and the imagination
tracks made on the journey
Real, close and direct



                                              

                                                18/11/2021
