Notes About The Poem

I say to stop what you are doing when your son calls you to come and look. Special moments in time set in a golden frame. You can never regain lost moments but you can remember the ones that were special. 

Son-shine at Three

        broach aloha door
  with a double rainbow arc
we can jump rope double dutch

Kim, you've built a rainbow bridge that will stick with many of us. Time with kids is important and we'll never have it back. Quite the thing really. Great pun, imagery, and message.

What's a rainbow, merely God's 'routine' handiwork, compared to his extra-special handiwork, i.e, your son doing a double dutch?!! Point made! (Three-pointer!). :) gw

Double Dutch is jump roping by the most physically fit. I'll pass. Thank you for these happy thoughts.

We know so little about the circumstances of our families. Wonder how many children you have. This refers to your son. May he thrive like you!
