    • Very excited and very grateful. My son Michael will be coming back to American soil in about 12 days I want to thank all of you for your prayers and well wishes and strength.

    Salmon

    It was raining
    As I drove the Farm to Market road
    To work.
    We moved in unison,
    All of us as Salmon,
    One after another
    On our way to spawn.

    In the East,
    An eyelid opened in the clouds,
    and the morning Sun
    Winked at me.
    I don't think anyone else noticed.
    They were too intent
    On the upcoming spawn.

    Thanks old friend, mlea

    If I feel physically as if the top of my head were taken off, I know that is poetry.

    Emily Dickinson (1830-1886) American poet.
