To Dad With Love

Forever and always and evermore 
You’ll probably step on the toys on the floor.
In years to come and in years past
We’ll always skate around you fast
We’ll roller blade around the track
While you wave a mile back.
On pretty nights and sunset gold
We’ll watch for frogs and catch a toad
We’ll see the beach and wave a hand
Before we wipeout on the sand.
~            ~
And on those nights of thunderstorms
We’ll crack the windows, open doors
And watch the lighting strike the sky!
(And watch mom find a place to hid)
On summer days we’ll swim some laps
As you get in the pool we laugh
You do a tiny doggy swim
We do some yoga on a wim.
On winter days you’re in the snow
Flexing off your snowblower
And soon we join you- well we play,
We come in wet to moms dismay.
On lazy days we’ll watch you cook
You stir and taste, we peak and look
Our post survey will give a ten
And mom will say please cook again
~                  ~
On Sundays by the sink and chair
You are soaping up our hair,
Chatting of the day gone by
Comfort and ambitions high.
A gentle hug, and tiny squeeze
a belly laugh against the breeze
We feel your love, we love you more
Forever, always, evermore.

  • A Space Among The Stars

    To live in a space among the stars
    I'd have to get binoculars
    To see the dentist on the moon
    And find the next Uber at noon.
    To live in a space among the stars
    I'd have to float to school in cars.
  • Frost

    Its fingers were hot
    and cold and
    sweet and dark.
    All at the same time.

    Sleeeeep. 

    It whispered in her ear.
    Her petals shivered.
    Its breath ran slowly
    down
    her stem and
    tickled a leaf.
