Beautiful and Insightful Parenting Poems

Two poems by my college friend Paige, mother of six and dairy farmer in upstate New York:

For mothers of young teens: I am not a cartographer, but I have travelled some.

For mothers of two-year-olds: The Good Young Days.

(she's the mother of both right now)

She also writes incredible prose:

"Somewhere along the range I have lost my good humor, or let it slide down the steep places to languish in ravines."

(from an essay about a family hike and moving mountains or being moved by them)

Still along the lines of parenting, love this touching prose about his son by adoptive dad Shaun Groves: The Puzzle I Love.
