A haiku in honor of the fact that in just 2 short days my wife and I will be leaving on a trip to Tennessee without our children:
Silent pond. White chairs.
Rainbow trees. My Love and I.
Anticipation.
And in honor of my parents who will be caring for our children:
Loud noises. Children
in perpetual motion.
Whining, pain, and joy.
I love the noise and chaos of 7 children. Driving home yesterday I was overcome with gratitude at the blessing of the life God has given us. Every morning when I leave for work, I have the delight of eight people hugging me and telling me that they love me. What great way to start the day.
Thank you Jesus.
