Poetry Friday: Trust, a haiku


This past week my dear friend Justina Chen Headley sat down and read my new board book Hug Hug! It is so encouraging to have words valued. This haiku springs from her care and time.


Trust

A friend holds your words
cherishing the thoughts and sounds.
Seedlings of hope sprout.

    Aw.

    My word verification is "hugger." Honest to goodness. Take that sign and use it as you will!
