Reunion
Life's Product
by Dick Waters
If God was looking down at this scene, his assessment might not be the same as the people involved.
An only child is meeting his only child after twenty-five years of separation.
The older of the two was brought up by his parents to have strong values.
Passing values along became a mission impossible.
When words turned physical, distance was the referee.
He will understand ‘tough love’ someday…hopefully!
*.*.*
Alone in the empty hotel lobby…
He watched his clone open the outside door.
Purposeful, with a confident stride and a smile, coming together like two magnets.
Love, hugs, tears…finally success.
