"Don't suppose you've swept the spoon
just by chance it caught the broom
can't find find either one in stock",
a worried mother's lost her flock...


They've grown up and learned the ropes
they nurtured time to apply their hopes
each one had their favorite toy or doll
neglected potato head had struck a wall...

Why all this processes on this mother earth
to then recall how tiny strides gained girth;
as one appears with a serial number on the chest
if we continue life, for what purpose do we invest?

A mother swept away the golden spoon
fell from the tot she fed from the womb
she'll go about her chores on a daily quest
in effort to make sense of her abandoned nest.

They sure do grow up fast and
leave the nest, don't they?
Hugs,

You're really connected with someone
to know this much, sir...
as always, I am deeply appreciative
of your wise words...

Very wise words here poet sir.
Nicely done.
Hugs~

    In the midst of winter..
I found there lives within me,
    an invincible summer.
