My Sweet Prince Rainer turned 6 yesterday
This boy reminds me daily
how precious small moments are.
He reminds me that the world
has gone mad
and perhaps
he is the only sane one left.
We’ve poisoned our food,
medicated our drinking water,
Forced to live beyond our means,
To live with instant gratification.
You remind me to slow down,
To cook mindfully,
Live honestly, patiently,
And with simple purpose.
There are consequences
to each action,
and with each thought
there is guilt, regret and sorrow.
But you’ve taught me
love, perseverence and HOPE.
Our family has ventured
The Road Less Travelled,
and the walk has been hard
but very much worth it.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY MY SWEET PRINCE.
