Future Plans

My child won a scholarship Accompanied by many honors. After hours walking, hurrying, Through diverse airports and cities, I fell into an exhausted sleep; After much talk about Colleges, degrees, time tables, And what was the best path? It was so necessary, important, And confusing. How to sort it all out? In my dream, we went out to eat Perhaps to celebrate the trip. Perhaps to celebrate the accomplishment. Amidst the talk of what institution She should attend, where and for how long, She merely said, I plan to look at the face of God. I plan to look into the face of God. I was impressed with the simplicity of it. I knew then that time and space Would someday become her ally.
