Today's NaPoWriMo prompt: “when you hear it, you write it down.” Today, we challenge you to honor this idea with a poem based in sound. "I will rock you, my Ana, in dawn's early light
I will rock you, my Ana, deep into the night I will rock you, my baby, in my heart all my life..." I wrote this for you when you were still inside me ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I wrote this for you, Mama, when you were a tiny baby "This is your song This is your song..." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ You are the song my soul marvels at, the one I could never have thought of on my own.

It's nice to save moments as a poem or a whisp of narrative. I made my living writing for others. Now I think the most important writing is for future generations of your own family. We might ever write an important work...but from our words maybe a future generation will. Maybe our writing is just paying it forward. Comments are closed.
