Nana's Love

PL Dupont 1956 (Toronto)

March 23 
Free verse
Touch nature in the morning
Don't let it slip by
Reach for a star in the evening
Don't let it go by
Look at you both so young and free like butterflies in the breeze.
I smiled at a these children this morning
They smiled back
I hope they grow up to be themselves, not someone else
Every one wants to be someone else
Explore nature in the morning
Don't let it slip by
Reach for the stars in everything you do
Don't let dreams go by
Seek out what you want to be
Keep trying till you're happy
Smile

    I love everything you write. This piece has a special 'tangible' quality so many of us might be able to relate to. It shows generational wisdom being passed down and the innocence of childhood. Great job Steve!

    It feels like I’m there. I know the memory so well and it is described perfectly. Feels like a nana’s love.
