FOLLOW DAD GUYS
I remember, with great fondness
moments
walking amidst a soft, hidden
wooded place
tall trees shrowded the
light
which fell filtered in a soft misty
dewy haze
at my feet
as far as the eye could see
were gently wispy ferns
moving ever so slightly
with the rising mist
in total quiet
it was always early in the morning
because
that was the ideal time
my dad knew
that
taking his children
to this special place
at this time would enable us
to witness these wonderous
moments
THANKS, DAD
LISTEN TO MOM GUYS
mind where you
walk
as the floors
were covered in
newspaper
to protect
the freshly dried wax
for it was Wednesday,
the day of the week
that our
home and all in it:
bedding, dusting
organizing, cleaning, washing,
polished, set up
discarded, rearranged, thrown away,
brushed, fixed,
fastened, folded, stacked,
closed, shut,
shelves, pantries,
closets
was to get done
put right
so we could
all enjoy the
simple
comforts of a clean,
orderly
upbringing
THANKS, MOM
