My Daughter's Visiting!
by Joan SerratelliMy daughter
called me yesterday
and told me
that she's
coming on Friday
I can't wait
to see her
and her kid
it seems like
it's been
a year
She asked me
whether I needed
anything
I said "No-
just bring
yourself"
We're watching
our grandson
that day
It'll be so nice
to see the cousins
laugh and play
It just might
cheer me up!
I wish I could
go out and buy
my daughter
and granddaughter
gifts
but just seeing them
will mean
so much to me
and I hope
she feels
the same

The gift is there, in the being together, in the watching cousins laugh and play. Your poem is lovely, Joan. I can feel each heartbeat. lovelight&hugs...m.a |
