Threefold Moment

I went to church with my daughter and her family
soon after my mom died. I sat between my two grandkids—
one in kindergarten and the other in middle school.

THREEFOLD MOMENT

fractals of my heart,
schematic of special moment,
illuminated as i breathe.
i kiss my fingers
touch his knee, his elbow,
his chin— boo boos
pointed out by him.
his warm lips
touch his fingertips,
land on my heart.
God told him so—
whisper of an angel
or a strong current
protracted by God,
straight to my favorites
this threefold moment
between me, my
six year old grandson
and Comforter God.

Darlene De Beaulieu November 12, 2021 at 11:30 AM Hello Kim, I remembered when my husband died. I was upset. I kissed his lips before I left the hospital 5 years ago. Death of a family member is very hard to bare. Hugs. Darlene De Beaulieu November 13, 2021 at 6:29 AM Hello Kim, yes a death of a spouse is hard. It takes a long time to settle back to normal life. Hugs. Kim Rodrigues November 12, 2021 at 12:04 PM And of a spouse particularly hard from what I’ve seen. ~ hugs, sweet lady!
