GOLD, by HELEN M. SHUSTER First Line: A bit of sun in my window-nook Last Line: No wealth I need -- for these are gold! Subject(s): Gold; Sons | ||||||||
A bit of sun in my window-nook, A ribbon gay in my favorite book, A darting wing in the summer air, The yellow curls of my baby's hair. A burst of song from a feathered throat, A dancing wave beside a boat, A jonquil tossing against a wall, The light in the eyes of my son -- grown tall. A ripple of laughter upon the breeze, A flash of color in autumn leaves, The gleam of the soul as you close I hold, No wealth I need -- for these are Gold! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE LATEST INJURY by SHARON OLDS PRAYER DURING A TIME MY SON IS HAVING SEIZURES by SHARON OLDS TWO SONGS OF PEACE: 1 by YEHUDA AMICHAI THE SMALLISH SON by HAYDEN CARRUTH SARAH'S PROMISE by LUCILLE CLIFTON ANY MAN'S ADVICE TO HIS SON by KENNETH FEARING THE RIGHTFUL ONE by DAVID IGNATOW CYMON AND IPHIGENIA by GIOVANNI BOCCACCIO |
