Summer approaches,
Bringing from hibernation
Sunshine and short sleeves.
The parents coaching
Lord of the Flies soccer teams:
Every day heroes.
Endless Ikea –
Aspirational aisles
curated with care.
Longer days begin –
with 7am sunlight
And 8pm dusk.
Dry, breezy, warm air.
This perfect summer weather
lasts only til June.
She is not too sick
To skip and sing with joy, yet…
She can’t go to school.
Sudden sheets of rain
Cacophonous and blinding
Wipes the world away.
Unrelenting rain
lifts the weight of humid air,
making mornings crisp.
Clawing our way through
Maycember activities …
Are we having fun?
Who are your every day heroes? Are you having fun right now? (It’s okay to say no.)
