Two Women, Two Generations Apart

by Joan

After so many years of teenage dismissal,

imagine my surprise 

when  I got her call seeking my advice.

Imagine her surprise 

when, before launching in,

I asked for her opinion.

Two women, two generations apart,

delightfully surprised

by each other.

    I had a similar-sounding experience with my daughter. This poem resonated with me! Very well put!
