Best Friends

I loved those long letters
we used to write.
Stealing every second in-between
the kids's naps and daily chores.

A pen and paper in hand
would transform the whole entire day.

We would scrawl feverishly,
knowing that the message would be received
as if it were Pulitzer prize material.

First Born

I look at your brown eyes and
I can hardly remember when
we could not decide if they
would be blue, or gray, or brown.

You crawl up into my lap
and rest your head on my chest.
I read you the story over and over again.

You sigh, turning the pages;
touching my life-
like it has never been touched before.

Art work

I went through a spell where I was making collages. It is sort of fun to create and I got into it the weekend at grad school when we were making all sorts of books with the art therapist.

It is relaxing and it is interesting to see what comes up unconsciously when you are picking out the pictures and texts for the collage. Would like to do more of them. Good for stress and good for creativity! Need to find more material to work with though.
