Time



Reading

Unnoticed
The world turned.
My hand,
Once young and wrinkle free
Held his tiny fist
Tight and secure within my own.

Life happened.
Wrinkled now
My fist contained within his
Secure,
And loved.
Both.

      Well, to be honest this is number three, but I feel the same about them all.

    That feeling of security and oneness is just magical, very well captured in this.

    I love that your hand held his in the first stanza and his hand held yours in the second. A feeling of continuing closeness, the passing of strength from one to the other.

      Brian, so right it is bittersweet, if you let it. I hope it will never be like that for me.

    I like the structure of your poem and how it conveys the passing of time and a reversal of situations.
