And Then

Saturday morning
and sun has stretched
from here
to there
leaving no dark corner
empty

My iPod is blaring
throughout the house
waking everyone
(and yes there are more than a few choice words . . . not from the kids though but the wife,
uh, yeah, she’s not too happy . . . yet)

Soon
the aroma of bacon
and coffee
along with pancakes and cheesy eggs (cheddar, is her favorite)
seeks her senses
and the words go from Ouch!
to yeah baby, good morning
and then the kiss
along with laughter and yuck and ugh! (it’s what happens when you have kids)
Oh and gross . . . and I thought our generation retired that word

I lower the music,
just something about
kitchen table chatter
that is remarkably refreshing . . . you know,
family
talking
planning our day together
we go from the beach
to the museum
to the theme park
to every imaginable thought from the five year old
and I sit back
smiling
enjoying
this moment because I know
that though nothing last forever
something is worth a life time

how awesome, to spend a day in the life of mig... and written with such loving attention...

These lines are amazing. Fantastic finish.

Alright!

Alright!

Thanks sinner . . . I have no idea where I got that line from though. It just popped in my head.

And thanks Zim and Athena
