mother and son

we started drinking at 10 am at the winery
having passed through verdant meadows
climbed up hillsides and across running streams
this was our reward
my reward, to be with my son, 
towering over me, so full of life, 
the confidence of youth, the optimism 
in new love,
and yet, he worries, too
about the future and what it holds
for him and his generation
for this, I am very sad.
