Are you going?


I put Andrew to bed
remembering without fail
to sing Scarborough Fair
eyeball to eyeball
head to head

and I know he’ll probe
– honest as a boy –
for one more burst
- a final verse -
of mutual joy.

  3. I absolutely love the painting created by your words. A dimly lit room, the brilliant color of a little boy's eyes so full of wonder & the comfort only a father's voice could bring. A room filled with unconditional love. Thank you for sharing such a beautiful moment in time with you & your son.
