Life's Little Rewards

I am beaming
I am puffed up with pride

I am enjoying my reward

I am sitting in this chair
She is in another room playing
And it floats on the air to me
Her gift - A dandelion seed

"As I walked in to Glascow city....."

She knows all the words to "Nancy Whiskey"

Christmas in (almost) July

Restraint.

A piercing stare into the baby monitor

Willing them to settle and sleep. 

He vowed not to go up and into their room a third time to remind them of their bedtime responsibility. 

In return

The no longer babies

Sing each other choruses of

Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer 

In full voice.

It is May. 

Hands grip the kitchen counter. 

Arms extend.

Head down. 

Restraint.
