I helped my sons
a few weeks ago
make a card with
flowers cut from
colorful construction
paper and peppered
with pictures of
them being cute
as babies can be.
Today is supposed
to be my day
and I expect to
be doing many
more things to
show them how to
be good boys and
maybe great men.
There is no sunshine
again but the rain
has taken a break
when we go out
my boys and me
and start blowing
bubbles that last a
mighty long time.
We laugh when
they burst and marvel
at how big some get.
The little one likes
the dancing colors
on the skins,
the older one loves
splitting them in half.
A few bubbles dare
to land on the evergreens
that border our
house and stay long
enough for us to take
pictures that will
make great Christmas
cards this year.
