Grass under bare feet
Walking in the summer sun
Childhood reflections
Back to the routine
Sitting in the drop off line
Waiting on the bell
Bus sitting idle
Waiting on happy children
To fill its soft seats

A long day finished
All the children are now home
Bus sitting idle
Hot cup of coffee
Finished inside the cold car
Waiting for drop off
Soft white-grey snow skies
Covers up the sun today
Kids high hopes abound
A cold wet morning
Kids hopes of a big snowfall
Dashed with each rain drop
Kids are bickering
Back and forth they go like jays
Coffee always helps
A busy morning
Racing my son off to school
Typical Monday
Robbed these two from myself. Not a lot of time to write something for mom this year, but I didn’t want to let the day go by without giving all moms a nod. I’m a stay at home dad and I see first hand how awesome moms are. They are true rock stars. Happy Mother’s Day to all moms out there.

How to describe a mom,
well,
it may be too hard to do,
without leaving out,
too many things,
that are true.
For a mom is a blessing,
a true gift from God,
her patience and virtue,
is something,
you could never prod?
Young children playing
Fueled with imagination
Playroom filled with smiles
Bright eyes, happy feet
Children racing from their beds
Filled with lots of joy

Merry Christmas!

Children swing, slide, run, and play
Happy in their youth

A swing of the axe
The turkey met its demise
Time for Thanksgiving

A colorful butterfly
Resting for a spell

Just past the stop sign
Down an unused dead-end street
Sat the house of screams

Holding a fuzzy plush toy
Watching the birds prance
Colorful pieces
Combining them one by one
Together they link

Pinwheels are spinning
Round and round and round they go
Sharp, bright colors blur
