mama hangs on tight

as she

takes her

baby chicks

off to 

master

their moves

their kicks

their spins

their control

as they

jump and skip

through the city

over and under

everything

in their way

and

they can’t wait

to

unleash their power

so much energy

harnessed here

the speed of the boss is the speed of the team.

when a kinder

in my class

asked me

to show her

how to spell

these words

it was

because

she was

writing

a

birthday card

for her

mother

and

there

could  be

no finer gift

than

this

beautiful

poem of love

she created.

today was good. today was fun. tomorrow is another one. – dr. seuss

my sister

and then

there was

the orange sticky note

that

she attached

to it

and i

saw

this

as

a

wonderful

compliment

and

a

precious

gift

for

it shows

that

she truly

knows

who i am.

it was

a wonderful morning

filled with skating

and sliding

and parents

and teachers

large_photo286224_3369342

and tumbles

and laughter

and happy screams

were heard

and

most of all

kids

just having fun

and sharing the day

large_photo286224_3369347

and

after the mad fun

it was

 time to warm up

and enjoy treats

and then

large_photo286224_3369345

some of the little ones

began to realize

 that parents

had to

head back to work

or home

and a bit of worry

set in

and

as we said goodbye

and hiked back

towards school

the tears flowed

and the wails were heard

and some

were

walking

and weeping

and clinging

as if

parting forever

and it was

dramatic

and

so full of love.

—-

ever has it been that love knows not its own depth

until the hour of separation.

clothing is optional.

all human wisdom is summed up in two words; wait and hope.
