Daily missive for Monday the 18th of July.~by Peter Forster

 

 

Daily missive for Monday the 18th of July.
Adam Elody and Layla.
A thank you for a wonderful break in Melbourne.

I will miss you all
The gentle concern
And easy love
We share
As a family.
Touched by the grace
Of a world drawn
To your design,
Privileges me.
Once more
I am in awe
Of a grandchild’s
Beauty and energy.
A match for
The sweetness of
Her innocent curiosity,
Nascent intelligence
And sense of wonder.
The merge of two
Into one new being
With the power of a sun
To unite us
Across the world.
I am with you
As you are with me,
Constantly
In my thoughts
And dreams
Until the next time
We meet
Across the sands
And we remember
Those lost
But never forgotten.
Even as we cherish
Their memory,
We nurture
The birth of new ones.
As it should be
When life goes on.
