Wren’s Poem

Free Verse

Poem and drawing: Wren’s

Wren sits beside me

Listening patiently to my composition

Our shared love of tornadoes

Inspired him to write his own

I asked permission to share it

With you, dear reader

His pride and joy

Glowing face alight

Enthusiastic consent given with glee

To be a mother is a funny thing

Half of my mixed-up genetic soup

In a being wholly his own

Inner world I am gifted

To be privy to

Deep conversations shared

Together at bedtime

His back turned to me in the dark

So I may trace alphabet letters

In cursive

A weighty blessing wrapped up

In many asks and snacks

Why, and how,

And don’t forget

to say please!

Pushing and pulling

Our bond is poetic

Revealing truths, shaping reality

Altering perception

I am so proud of

My little boy

And his poem

About the Creator

In love with life and all of its foibles.
