Marking Time

A missing front tooth Nightlight glowing soft Height marks on the wall Training wheels old news Car keys in the drawer Butterfly kiss Mama bear hug A runny nose Love for my son Brushing teeth Bedtime tales Shutting doors Baked bread Beer breath Tears

I want to personally thank you for your entry in my contest. Happiness expressed then in a short time sorrow. Our lives sometimes can be a rollercoaster of emotions. Your son sounds like the apple of your eye. Congratulations on your winner. Way to go. Sara K
