Poems...

Fantasia

I dream 

of 

giving birth

to
a child

who will ask
'Mother,

what was war?'
- Eve Merriam


Having done a fair bit of writing lately as well as working on my Mother's Day jewelery has turned my thoughts, eyes and fingers to my collection of poetry books.  While reading through a collection of poems on Motherhood, I found the above.
Profound for two reasons, the first being obvious.  

War is stupid.

The second being the title...as Fantasia 1 & 2 by Disney are two movies I adore.

May our children or their children one day see a world truly at Peace.
