The Blessing of Commas: A Poem

June 3, 2021 · by · in designed, parenting, poetry · 4 Comments

Children are like
commas,
I think.

They bring
pauses,
in a day of important things.

Little hands touch our face,
they clarify,
Love.

Making sense of the world:
a bird, a worm,
a friend.

They distill it all
and we have to ask,
what is important.

The broken sleep and all the time,
join our independent selves
to someone else.

Children are like
commas,
I think.

And how confusing is the world
without the punctuation
of Life
