Lying on the couch
Watching the game. My little boy’s
head rests on my chest

Poem of the Day #23- 9/13/17
Together we walk
Your tiny hand in my hand
My sweet little boy
Poem of the Day # 12 – 7/1/17
She is sent to bed,
In these summer months,
Just as the sun is breaking the horizon,
Just as the light turns golden,
Just as the fireflies emerge.
How can she ever be convinced
That there is nothing magic
being left behind?
Who could ever sell that lie
While the earth emits sparks
And clouds become
cotton candy?
I have sat and watched
As the evening has come
And gone and seen these illusions fade.
Still, I will struggle to sleep
Fearing that there is magic
That I might miss.
Poem of the Day #8- 6/26/17
There is no greater quiet
Then a little boy sleeping-
a mid-day nap
