My Poetry / Story entry at La Cosecha

The assignment was to complete the sentence after the given phrase (in bold)
This is my entry.

I hear – the soft sound of my children catching their breath as I pause before turning the page.
I feel – safe and warm with my brood snuggled all around me.
I pretend – I may not turn the page; maybe it’s time for goodnight.
I rejoice – as I see their interest and hear them ask for more.
I suffer – when I think how much I wished I had time like this with my mother.
I wish – that each of my children can feel this way one day.
I imagine – being part of the pile as a grandmother; and smile
I dream – great big colorful happy dreams
I say – let’s stay up and read another chapter.
I believe – hot cocoa and gingerbread cookies will make the next chapter even better.
I am – surrounded by love. I am content.
