very little.
after a fun afternoon
and wonderful evening
spent visiting and playing
grandies are tired and tucked in
when suddenly the tears come
missing mom and dad
and after
a story, Kleenex, hugs, a visit from the cat, and a goodnight call to mom
everyone settles in for the night
including bunny
does it get any better than that?

full tonight.
under the harvest moon
when the soft silver
drips shimmering
over the garden nights,
death, the gray mocker
comes and whispers to you
as a beautiful friend
who remembers.

hopeful.
to say that the detroit lions
have not played like a top tier team in a long time
is an understatement.
I found this display
in the middle of a big box hardware store
with no explanation
and loved the artistic statement it made.
this still somewhat hopeful
and ever loyal fan
has been waiting quite a long time for a win.
that is strong and that is funny.

“i’m a hopeful cynic.”
