Kids have this ability to take things that seem really complicated,
you know,
like,
Life,
and making it
simple.
Like sunshine
and swings in the tree
and shouts of,
Mom, watch this!
Mom see this!
Do you hear them? They are saying’ I want you to be proud of me.’
I hear you, son.
I hear you daughter.
I am proud.
You make those complicated bits of life,
the parts that seem too big
too big to bear-
much more bearable.
So thank you.
Thank you for asking me to come outside.
To see your swing and your sunshine.
You are sunshine.
My sentiments exactly! LIfe has felt SO much lighter this past week, in part because of this glorious weather! I have decided that I am living in the WRONG part of the country! Let’s move somewhere where it’s 70 degrees year round…we can start our own commune : )
