I was out in the back yard playing with my son this evening.
Young children can be a lot of work, and there are times when I wish he'd go away for just an hour.
But then sometimes it's just poetry.
backyard haiku
Mommy, play with me
I want to go outside now
our needs are but few
the sun setting low
hide-and-seek in the backyard
where'd he go??? surprise!!!
night's dreams rolling in
the long day's play put to bed
sleep now, little one
