The Hourglass Mood
Friday, September 4, 2009 | A Poem/Artistic story

Faster and faster

Spills the hourglass

As I wait for him

No longer a child

Yet eternally my child

Becoming the man

I always dreamed he would

As he signs the papers

That will take him away

To far off places

Where I can not follow

As I watch him run

Headlong into life

I know the hourglass

will not stop

Even if I wanted it to

But couldn't it just

Slow down for a moment?

 

 

Written yesterday while I was waiting for James to come back from the recruiter's office.

    Wow. You've really captured the angst a parent feels when they are in this kind of a situation. I remember writing a poem when Anna was at an audition in NYC and I was waiting for her at a Starbucks. Such pain and such joy...from birth until!!!
