we took the red candy apple
bikes out
tonight to enjoy
the last rays of the day tickling the tender green grass
and the flare of the sun
reached into my head
and filled it with happiness
and i
thought to myself
these
are the
best
days
of
our
lives.



today:

i smelled freshly cut grass
i wore pink
i thought about calling in sick to work
i sneezed........a lot
i wondered how the sky could be so blue
i heard birds singing
i drove with my sun roof open
i watched pink cherry blossoms wave against puffy white clouds

and so it begins.
hello again, spring.

you're a sight for sore eyes



we sat on the train and watched the world
go
by...
but not just any world....

his world.

and
though
the eyes of a
4 year old
everything
becomes
a
miracle.




i took her frail hand in mine
and she said
"so you see dawn, this is my dying time"
and
even though i searched desperately for a band aid
to try and
fix
it
there were none
to
be
found.
