Come Have Some Coffee
sun sprinkles streak over the top of the water
giving it a happiness it did not have at six a.m.
the sun is waking up! a shrill voice says
I turn and see a boy of about four walking the beach
his following mother gives me an apologetic look
“Hi!” I say, waving at her. "Come have some coffee."
I had brought a cup for my husband but he is sleeping.
we drink in silence listening to her joyful son.
