Wheeled myself this morning
 To the waterside, flawlessly mirroring
 Bright white, blue coloured early sky
 Daisies strewn around like smithereens
 Hip hopping bird, questioningly
 Asking for crumbs I have not, why
 Not bring that one small gift of love
 For this one small friend?

Humming wordless sound
 Watching whirligig beetle
 Turn and twist, walk like that one son
 On water, or diving under, oblivious
 To my admiring eyes, if only for
 One second, or one hour to
 Walk the surface like a bouncer
 Swim and dive, breathe in deeply.

Thank you for taking me with you to that pond and letting me see you feed the little bird... So endearing.
