Parenthood

 Published Date: September 1, 2022

I made a floating lantern,
dreaming
that one day
it would reach
the edge of the sky,
but as I watched it
drift away, soaring
as I prayed it would,
all I could do
was cry.

Hi, my name is Jacob Anton (ANN-tin) Davis. I am a husband, father, attorney, and writer. I have written poetry and fiction as a hobby for the past 20 years, but I launched J. Anton Poetry in 2019 to share my writing publicly. The poems of mine on this site largely describe my thoughts about the deeper connections and meaning in our everyday lives.
