Congratulations!  The poetry warmed my heart and reminded of the feeling meeting my grandchildren for the first time.  Thank you for that.  Joan Knutson

Dear Friends,

On the 11th day of Christmas, 3:26 a.m....A Child Is First Born!

To Son-in-law and daughter: Jose Luis and Chenoa Stock Claure

Leandro Aiden Claure  (Lion of man, mission of fire)

in St. Louis, MO

Mother, father and son doing well...grandparents still recovering...

A Reflection below...

Ellie and Carleton :)


EYES, ONLY HOURS OLD

Eyes,

only hours olds,

innocently laser-beamed

life's disease and death's marrow--

healing births' paradox and

revealing its wholeness

to a pondering heart

as a rooting mouth,

also hours old,

hungered beyond the miracle

of a mothering breast.
