Urban Scene

The toddler’s steps were tentative;
His daddy held his hands.
They slowly made some progress;
Every parent understands.

What caught my eye was on their heads -
Both sporting baseball caps,
The dad’s a well-worn Yankees one,
A favorite, perhaps.  

The toddler’s was, of course, brand new,
Though I have got to say 
It elicited a laugh because 
The logo said LA!

Toddler probably got a gift from someone other than Dad. Your poem shows warmth and happiness. It is a smiley.

I’ve said it before, Ilene, but I’d love to see a poem in stuff that just happens. You do it so well and I’m a little envious ;-)
