One Thing You Missed

Here is your little girl’s

first loose tooth, six

years of pearly growth

down the drain.

No, literally, it went

down the drain.

Your son, though

younger, her champion,

composed of freckles and

energy, shovels every

ditch, certain he will

recover her lost treasure.


You see, they know loss

And they seek what is lost.

    "... composed of freckles and energy..." Such a creative description of a child. And "her champion" shows what a bond you and he have. :-)

    1. So funny how kids from the same genes and family turn out so differently. One can spend a lifetime in her head while the other just moves forwards without hesitation. The world needs both, I'd say. Thanks for visiting!

    1. Thanks so much, Dana. And thank you for having me. This is quite an experience, like unzipping my jacket in a crowded room and well, damn, there's my soul. :-)
