A Son’s Love

He lifted the rusty can...

"I got these rocks for you."

He could see their beauty.
Me too...ivory sculptures like lentils.
I put them in a shining jar
With myrrh and seashells
And placed them near the lamp with violets and golden leaves.

Company asked,

"Where did you get those rocks?"

"My son," I said,

Then I told them about the acorn bracelet
He made for me
When he was seven.
