Sum of It


 PAD Challenge day 10: For today’s prompt, take the phrase “(blank) of (blank),” replace the blanks with a word or phrase, make the new phrase the title of your poem, and then, write your poem.

one precious 'moment-crumb' in the sum of it!
 

Oh, what will become of it
This which weaves the sum of it
Shaping what we thought we knew
Into revised points of view

Where life’s drill of give and take
Spills into hope and heartache
Turning what we thought we learned
Into degrees not yet earned

Teaching us as we grow old
Thankfulness for what we hold
Waking us to bit-by-bit
Creating the sum of it

Making us, as we proceed
Keened to moment’s potent seed
Where not some but all of it
Will become the sum of it
