Maybe There Is Solace in the Sunshine

September 21, 2020

Dear Subscriber:

Each week we examine a theme from a variety of points of view. The theme for this week is fate.

I welcome comments on my poems at https://nicholasgordon.blogspot.com.

A Mother’s Day poem for a woman whose fate it is to be childless:

Maybe there is solace in the sunshine
On the grass beneath the windows of your will.
The love's no less, not lost, although no child
Holds on to you. But elsewhere fate has smiled,
Embracing you with love that needs you still.
Remember that one's woe can turn to wine
Sipped beside a wide, white windowsill.
