Coins and Joy: A Generational Lesson in Balance

Mom said,

"Always save your coins,

for storms will come unannounced."

I wish she taught me how to spend joy—

not fear.

Author's Notes:

"This poem reflects on the invaluable lessons passed down through generations—lessons that shape who we are. While my mother taught me the importance of saving for life’s uncertainties, I often wonder about the balance between preparing for the future and embracing the present. It’s a reminder to cherish wisdom but also to seek joy in the here and now."
