I asked my son this morning what the word where meant to him, that it was the word prompt from Miss Kate. His response? Where are you?
I figure it’s as good a place to start as anywhere right?
Where are you?
This phrase runs through my mind
as I ponder the word Where.
My son bids me think
Where are you?
Where am I you might ask
I could simply say
Sitting in my comfy chair with
My laptop in front as SUITS
Plays on the TV making me laugh.
Where am I?
Could also show me checking my phone
wondering if my sweetheart is messaging me
Chatting as the mill runs. Staying in contact.
Sharing highlights of our day.
Today I told him of a clock radio
and shared a discovery we made.
Where am I?
My heart it frets as bit
as it always done when our youngest
is away. Wondering if he’ll be shivering
in a tent or as warm as he think he’ll be.
FTX with the Army Cadets.
Excitement folds his brain.
While I am happy to see him go,
my mama’s heart…well…You know. 🙂
Where am I?
Right here
Right now
But…. elsewhere.
Right here, right now.
This reminds me of a favourite song, if I may:
I had never heard that song before. Thank you for sharing it with me.
Good poem that really shows how we are multiple places, at least in mind, at all times. Nice.
Thank you, I felt very uncertain writing this piece, still kinda do. 🙂
