Moments

watch sunbeams play on water

with laughter in their eyes

remember little children

the ones that don’t survive

my arms reach out to hug them

too soon those moments gone

a cloud has drifted in the way

and blocked out all the sun

I hope no one can related with that writing. It’s so sad and so poignant
when my father passed away and after that, I talk with my grandfather and he was crying when he saw us and it always affected me. I might lost my father, but he lost his son and Even though we lost the same person pains are in so different level and even though he was the perfect example for me as an adult in my kid eyes, he is still his son and he is still his child and that’s the kind of pain no one ever should’ve ever live
That’s an amazing and powerful writing.

I love "Moments" poems, and here is one of a sad moment when dark clouds prevail ..
Some moments are fleeting and some we never forget.

the ones that don't surive were sunbeams and a very dark cloud passed over them and stalled.
So unfortunate when children get caught in the craziness adults cause and then leave us way too soon.
SUch a powerful write, Chris.

Thank you dear j. Yes, children suffer as the result of adults. Many a life cut short.

I love to watch the reflection of light on water whether it be sun or moon.
