Abraham had his first
Art museum experience
Last October. He was not much a fan.
Today we bounced through
Greek statues,
An Egyptian mummy,
A Roman mosaic,
A life-size statue of a Medieval pope holding his head.
And the boys were suitably impressed.
But when we got to the room of silver,
Abraham exclaimed over and over.
The intricacy! The skill! The value! The quantity!
Of all the things to enjoy,
I had fully ignored this one.
Yet it was what made my artistic son leap.
Provide opportunities,
And allow the outcome to be what it may.
