Haiku by Alenka Zorman of Slovenia.
Alenka wrote this haiku around the time when she became a grandmother.
It must be comforting to observe your daughter and her newborn enjoying the warm of the Spring.
I have three grandchildren myself. It is comforting to know that the DNA I received has been passed on to the future generation.
There is the idea of rebirth, and I believe in it. Even if I do not have child in this life, there is the next life for me (for my soul to be precise). My soul will receive a new body, will get marry, and will have children.
A newborn,
in his small grip
seeds for big future

Kuni san,
my sincere thanks!
My grandson is now 5.
Since 1 January '09 he and his parents have been living in Denmark. My husband and I miss them very much. I visited them in February/March (for two weeks).
Warm regards from Copenhagen and Ljubljana,
Alenka
And all my best to you, your wife and your 'extended' family. Enjoy!
:)
Interesting word verification: "theedges", isn't it?
Have to say this too: haiga 189. What a coincidence: 8 & 9 are the numbers of my birth date (and 7). They appear so many times, when I write haiku, when I am happy etc. I take them like a sign of my sincerity.
Alenka,
with "rownine" word verification ... :)
Thank you everyone for nice comments.
Alenka-san: My wife and I moved to an new address last fall, and now my son's family (young wife, a baby boy and a baby girl) has joined us. Children's voices, laughing and crying, are becoming a must for our house, and sometimes make me forget my age.
I made many haiga for you, Alenka-san. I will post them here time to time so stay turned. I checked your website and found many photo-haiga. Why don't you share them at World Haiku Association haiga contest.
