Now Looking Back With Anticipation

Neville

Now Looking Back With Anticipation

 

Slow down child

don’t wish

your life away

like that ..

We know its late

but the cogs

and the wheels

are still turning ..

And while

I dare not look

back to see

what the future

might hold

by consulting

the leaves in my

new china

teacup darling ..

Each swirling

earl grey

murmeration

that I previously

found there ..

Now fills me

to the very brim

with much

love and indeed,

joyful anticipation ..

      A fine write N.
      Doh! All I see in me tea leaves is KP asking for more money for botox!
      She will end up a ghostly trout-like apparition! heehee.

        a hauntingly beautiful image

      • Bella Shepard

        This poem is so moving dear Nev. It speaks to me of our children, of the hope and anticipation we have for their future, and of the love and pride we feel as we watch them blossom, as we knew they would. A father's heart here, I think. Beautiful!!

          I am thrilled that you should think so positively and encouragingly Bella .. I am without doubt mightily chuffed .. All Good Things, Neville

          With the sole exception of the tea choice, I cannot but feel myself in your position ( without the little 'un with whom to dispense absolutely valid advice).
