Today I'm doing double poetry duty! I'm joining in at the Poetry Schmoetry blogfest today at Shelley's blog. Check here to see more entries. I am also participating in Poetry Friday which is being hosted at A Year of Reading today. I used to do Poetry Friday a lot, but my middle grade writing took over. It's time to pay my respects to poetry again!I'm sharing a poem today that I wrote after watching a preschooler reunite with his father when he returned from war. It was so incredibly touching. I was tearing up along with all the other moms watching the special moment.
HOME FROM AFGHANISTAN
Months of waiting.
Celebrating.
Daddy’s home.
Smiles beaming.
Tears are streaming.
Daddy’s home.
We are racing.
Warm embracing.
Daddy's home!
No more missing.
Hugs and kissing.
My daddy is home!
