The big kids have been gone off to college for a weeks now, but I thought Id share a poem I wrote with all the moms & dads I still see posting about their children heading off. I was a little surprised how melancholy I was after the last, and youngest one left the nest, and this is what came to me. I can hear the wind blowing. halls are quiet all the questions are gone laundry room lays silent the hamper empty pantry bare and the stove cool dishes clean, the televisions idle no more homework and projects things will be always different now. Long has been the journey. the day has come and the voices are missing emptiness is all that remains. thoughts and tears. a pause. a hope and a smile.
