Learning a New Game

A Poem Inspired by Henri Nouwen and my three sons

The Game of Cricket 6.13.20
 
Wearing our whites
We play this game
Like many things
I’ve learned from my sons
 
The sum of their teachings 
Outweigh my own 
The pupil becoming the teacher 
The father becoming the son
 
Like the dawn of a new day
Creating mutual respect 
Becoming a brother
And a friend
