Aditi Mishra Poet Haibun

Sparkling Dreams

On my graduation as I handed my degree to my mother, she traced every word with her fingers and moist eyes. Her eyes sparkled with happiness and innocence of her efforts fulfilling dreams with gratitude to God.


stars of wonder shine
in beads of glee for her child
mom's dreams live in love

John Watt July 22, 2020 at 12:47 PM This is so touching, Aditi. It shows very clearly your mother's pride and love in celebrating your wonderful accomplishment. It also demonstrates the humility of the writer that acknowledges her mother's significant part in that accomplishment.
