Time to get back to posts about flight…
Today’s topic…
Airplanes or snowflakes?
They both fly.
One will be taking my son
Back to college.
The other,
Perhaps,
May make taking him to the airport
A challenge.
Now that I’m used to these goodbyes,
I see beauty in both.
The plane will return J
To the place
He will complete his B.A. studies
And possibly,
Discover the next phase
Of his life’s journey.
And snowflakes…
When it’s cold enough
And they’re falling gently,
They sparkle like
Little tiny diamonds.
Granted,
I would much rather watch
Their earthward dance
From the warmth of
My dining room.
Well,
I guess today’s post
Was about both
Airplanes and snowflakes.
And just a further word on airplanes…
Come April,
We will be boarding one
To travel to J’s graduation.
Another reason they’re really
Now that’s exciting.
Happy 2012, all! May your dreams take flight.
