Indian Summer
Just another festival
Fat people and beer
One sees black and white
The other sees shades of gray
These times demand which?
We struggle each day
Living for us or the kids
Others simply choose
First day of first grade
New shoes, new backpack and smiles
Never comes again
Should I fire her?
How short does she need to fall
Before cord is cut?
First day of preschool
Growing up and making friends
Facing out not in
He's stubborn as hell
Clueless, compulsive, and shy
The world will crush him
A three-day weekend
Time to bike, canoe, and play
Monday comes too soon
The cab'nets are in
Now it looks like a kitchen
Almost worth the price
It's nerves I tell you
Not diet or exercise
Nerves that make me sick
Walk ten thousand steps
Get us from east to west coast
We are one big team
Seven times seven
His answer in sidewalk chalk
He wants them harder
I always feel torn
Every minute, every day
Between love, life, work
She wants what she wants
For sure, no bones about it
Stay out of her way
She likes two pages
Better than twenty-seven
Can't say I blame her
She’s a slimy one
Dancing between her lies and
Her friends in high places
Sending out queries
Fishing without a bobber
Nibble or a bite?
A backpack with wheels
Extend the handle and pull
He’s grown up and proud
They love mini golf
Running and chasing the balls
Shrieks of purest joy
Thinking about work
Makes me sick, disrupts my sleep
When’s my vacation?
Piles and piles of stuff
Must keep it all to feel safe
Don't stop to ask why
What's a synopsis?
A simple summary or
A test of courage?
Sleeping when I leave
Untroubled and worry free
Wife, son and daughter
Marchers give candy
Fireworks light up the night sky
The Fourth of July
My heart is racing
Anxiety consumes me
Fear the falling axe
Riding the bike path
For the first time with his dad
Filled with pride and joy
She cries when she’s tired
Wailing at the slightest cause
First happy then sad
A baby rabbit
Nestled asleep in the grass
Noise, fright, shock, blood, death
