Carrie Richards Poet Tanka

The Dream Wish

`                 
                               I introduce them...

                    "Mom, this is your granddaughter"
                      "Here, ...meet your grandsons"
      
                         We sit under jaded trees
                      and she tells me she is proud
                                          ~
