A poem a day keeps the blues away



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 out
of chairs and legs.
A baby sleeps
while passed from arms to arms.
The miles are shrunk for a day
as we gather around the table together.
At the center
Great Grandma soaks it all in:
Soaks in the laughter and love
Spread through the years
and across generations.
Now the love returns tenfold
until it overflows
and fills us all.
