A Glimpse

We see our kids or grandkids

In our home’s familiar setting

Or at gatherings of kith and kin

Within that safety netting.


Yet when somehow there’s a glimpse 

Beyond where we’re supposed to go,

We might be surprised to find

A person we don’t really know.


Perhaps in a performance

In the arts or in a sport,

A confidence might sparkle

Which will find us caught up short. 


It is fascinating watching

As that talent is unfurled 

And we witness as our loved ones 

Make their way out in the world.


Now, not everybody gets the chance

To catch this in the works.

I am lucky, seeing one of

Watching children’s greatest perks.
