We link hands and pray—
this is the beginning of
every great dinner.
5:30:35
The dinnertime
discussions are my favorite things:
necessary, thrilling.
5:30:58
We get to know who
our children are, see glimpses
of who they’ll become.
5:30:59
All while they suck dry
the soup they claimed they didn’t
like; now it’s tasty.
These are excerpts from The Book of Uncommon Hours, a book of haiku poetry. For more of Rachel’s poems, visit her Reader Library page, where you can get a few volumes for free.
