Dear Subscriber:
Each week we examine a theme from a variety of points of
view. The theme for this week is Mother’s Day, which is celebrated on May 13th.
I welcome comments on my poems at http://nicholasgordon.blogspot.com

A Mother’s Day poem about hope and time:
Hope is in the hollow of
your heart,
A place
that’s safe from everyday despair,
Part of
you with which you’ll never part,
Part of
you that always will be there.
Years
pass, your child becomes who she will be,
More
herself, less the self you dreamed,
One who
is more act, less potency,
Though
still no less the gift that she first seemed.
How might
you hope as much as years go by,
Even as
time offers you less room,
Refusing
to ignore the truth or lie
‘Mid
gardens still in leaf but past their bloom?
Sing of
hope, that is with fortune born,
Desiring
joy at night as much as morn,
Alive
with dreams and wonder, just as when
You were a child,
now no less than then.
