Precious Chaos

 

Precious chaos

Seems a contradiction

unless you have in your life

a curly-headed, black-eyed,

boy

Full of energy and smiles

while building towers

or grumpily signalling his want

for TV

He lights up our world

There are few poetic metaphors

to describe how the arrival 

of this small boy

could open a great-grandmother’s

heart

An old woman

not missing anything in life

So she thought
