A Glimpse
We see our kids or grandkids
In our home’s familiar setting
Or at gatherings of kith and kin
Within that safety netting.
Yet when somehow there’s a glimpse
Beyond where we’re supposed to go,
We might be surprised to find
A person we don’t really know.
Perhaps in a performance
In the arts or in a sport,
A confidence might sparkle
Which will find us caught up short.
It is fascinating watching
As that talent is unfurled
And we witness as our loved ones
Make their way out in the world.
Now, not everybody gets the chance
To catch this in the works.
I am lucky, seeing one of
Watching children’s greatest perks.
