Scenes… Poem by Jim Milks

A father and a daughter
Slowly walking hand in hand together
Leaning in whispering to one another
The secrets that they share

Colors blaze across the sky Brilliant blue,
red brown And orange too
A mother pushes her child through the park
Somewhere in the distance a dog barks

a grandmother sits rocking gently in her chair
for her grand children she says a quiet prayer
steady she rocks, stately she seems
this day, the answer to her dreams

a grandfather and grandson stand silhouetted by a pond
staring out across the water, to what lies beyond
the sun shines on this fishing scene
peaceful quiet and serene
