Leaving Calm
They entered
This world
One at time
Their first breath
An indication
Of stories to come
Now they come and go
At various times
For various reasons
Like individual clouds
On a blue-sky day
Offering shade
From the heat
Of the sun
Or raindrops
To water the flowers
And dot the sidewalk
Then there are
Those moments
When they all
Come together
In a storm
Of laughter
That fills the air
And leaves behind
The sweetest calm



Enjoying a weekend with the kids! ❤️
A beautiful writing, Kelly. This resonated as I reflected on my visits with my children and their families together – which has been years. My experiences like these you describe are frequent as I visit with each son and their families. The metaphors are so good, my friend. 💜
