Gershon Wolf Poet Rhyme

The Changing of the Gods

There’s a moment
   sad in a way
but happiness is
  the order of the day

There’s a moment
  when mom and dad
are no longer gods, though
  we’re not yet comrades…

There’s a moment when
  yes, we’re glad in a sense, but
with all our foibles and flaws exposed ~
  you and I, mom, our little lambs have deposed

Judy Ball May 9, 2022 at 9:10 PM I love the commercial on T.V. that has an old lady telling her neighbor next door as she watches her grown son returning home again, "YOU WANT THE KIDS TO LEAVE HOME? STOP COOKING WITH CHEESE!" Since my girls all left and made homes of their own I have missed them terribly. A fine write my friend God Bless, JB Gershon Wolf May 10, 2022 at 5:52 PM Say Cheese, please -- except when cooking. Smiles, gw

L Milton Hankins May 9, 2022 at 7:52 PM Yes, comes a time when the fledglings leave the nest. But, believe it or not, in the bird kingdom most fledglings get kicked out because they are too big for the nest! Gershon Wolf May 10, 2022 at 5:47 PM Unlike our kids, those fledglings... as our kids are WAY too big for the nest. Oh, well...
