April is National Poetry Month. Several teachers and writers are participating in writing a poem a day to celebrate. I don't know if I'll make a poem a day, but it is time to put my thoughts into poems. Here is one for today that I wrote in honor of Great Grandma's 90th birthday celebration. I want to be just like her when I grow up!
A Birthday Celebration
Laughter rings through the air.Little boys race in and outof chairs and legs.A baby sleepswhile passed from arms to arms.The miles are shrunk for a dayas we gather around the table together.At the centerGreat Grandma soaks it all in:Soaks in the laughter and loveSpread through the yearsand across generations.Now the love returns tenfolduntil it overflowsand fills us all.
