Synchronicity Poem
I was nearby at grandkid's birth
a wee new soul upon the earth
I marveled as her mother bore her
I had birthed that child before her
I a child my mother bore me
she her mother her before me
I have come to realize
feelings seldom synchronize
moments of the deepest kind
craving a companion mind
are often hardest ones to share
it's not that those I love don't care
but they are all at different places
different worries different faces
and most times when I have tried
words don't come my tongue is tied
or if they come they can't convey
all behind the words need say
but at a birth the moments touch
(and at a death) I know that much
