Once again, it’s Haiku Friday!
My haiku today will honor Braden, in celebration of his One Year Birthday, Wednesday, October 16th, 2006.
The first piece was written a few years ago. Funny how things change! The next one I wrote this morning, as a response to it. The last one is just how I feel right now.
Children – we want them
And yet are we ready for
Such a drastic change?

The gift realized
Our hearts now swelling with joy
Why were we so dumb?

He grows so quickly
Proudly, I watch him become
There’s no greater gift.

Ah, but what if Braden was born with a (clean) block of cheese in his hands as a thank you for bringing him into the world? Would that top the greatest gift?

*wonders what kind of cheese*
Lovely haiku.

Here is our new blessing
A diaper full of joy and more
Thank you oh so much God
Does sarcasm count as an extra syllable? HA!

Thanks for stopping by and contributing. My poems are free of course. I wrote 50+ pages of poetry for my wife back when she was my fiance. No Haikus though. I am usually much more into sonnets.
