Updated kid haikus as we approach their birthdays
I recently shared haikus I wrote about my kids a year ago. I thought, since each of them are about to have a birthday, I would write some for this year.
Almost fifteen
Taller than I am
Insecurity seeps out
You can’t lose my love
Almost fourteen
You hide behind hair
Silent, thoughtful, no demands
What’s behind those eyes?
Almost eight
One minute: drama
The next: kind, helpful, loving
Up and down we go
Almost five
No longer little
But I can still carry you
Light is in your smile
