A little light reading...

"A" wrote these poems back in the fall...I've kept them on my desk at work because they make me smile every time I think about them...tried to scan them in but having issues...I'll come back and add later...in the meantime, I've typed them out for your reading pleasure:

to mom and dad

LEAVES

I huddle underneath you

in the fall. I sway high

above you in the spring.

I turn greener in the

summer. In the winter

I'm covered by snow.

*This one is pretty deep to me..like a commentary on her life. When she's young, she huddles under her parents, then comes a time in life when she sways high above us (bratty teenager perhaps?), then she becomes more productive (greener) and then is covered by snow in her old age. :)

to: dad

ROCK

I sit on the

ground all

day and night

with nothing to do

but watch life

pass by.

* All I could do is laugh when I read this and make fun of Dear Hubby

to: mom

GRASS

I sway in the wind and

grow tall and thin

also give homes to many

insects.

* And then I read mine...what the heck? I like the growing tall and thin part, but not sure what to make of swaying in the wind or giving home to many insects. Is she making a commentary on my housekeeping habits? :) Now I've changed my mind - no deep metaphorical meaning - they are just about rocks and grass. Period. I hope.
