Their Feet

To my sons

His feet
Lead him to breech
Any borders and seek
To meet his brothers as equals
Steven.
His feet
Lead him to leap
Over walls and land on his feet
Andrew
His feet
Seek to be free
To reach the top of trees
And fly to where dares the eagle
Matthew.

Carolyn Devonshire Date: 5/9/2011 8:47:00 AM I love the way you describe your sons, their different approaches to life and the wishes you hold for each of them. They all sound wonderful, Caroline, but I think I would admire Steven the most if he is able to see all people as equals. Very much enjoyed your poem. I will keep you posted and let you know something after I see the new podiatrist tomorrow. Love, Carolyn Login to Reply

Carrie Richards Date: 5/9/2011 7:18:00 AM This makes me smile, and think of my own sons...the younger always striving to keep up with the older... A sweet and touching poem of brothers! ;) Login to Reply
