Jean Murray Poet Rictameter

Red Letter Day

Happy
to know that soon
I will hold in my arms
my three fair faraway daughters,
who are heading home this Xmas season.
My house so quiet without them,
the floorboards creek night tears.
It too will be
happy.

Line Gauthier December 4, 2019 at 6:50 PM Sweet poem, Jean. Jean Murray December 4, 2019 at 7:10 PM Thank you Line. Two are in Vancouver and one in England. I feel especially blessed when they join me at these special times, as the eldest is now 29 and recently engaged to be married.
