This little poem of mine is from The Poetry Friday Anthology of Celebrations edited by Janet Wong and Sylvia Vardell. What a treat to have it posted now on Sound Cloud (along with many other poems from the anthology) and to hear it read so beautifully in both English and Spanish! I won't copy the text here; instead, just have a listen - click the title below to hear it. It goes out with lots of love to Jackson. ❤

Jackson looks well-loved! Thanks for sharing your poem, Julie. The reader has a terrific voice.
ReplyDeleteWhat a simple, eloquent poem, Julie--and its read spectacularly. Love the photos of your grandson:>)
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful poem. I loved hearing it in English and Spanish (even though my Spanish is quite limited, I picked out a few words!).
