First Geese

“I heard the geese go over,”
and there is a moment of silence.
Why this is so moving, I do not know.
But all of us feel it.
- Gladys Taber (1899-1980)
Over the Labor Day weekend, we heard the first geese fly over, honking, headed south.
Autumn is approaching!
I hope you don’t mind that I shared this poem with one of my friends on my Facebook wall. I really like it.
Not at all! The more folks enjoying Gladys Taber’s writing, the better, I say! Glad you enjoyed it.
