Sitting in the 1st Spring Sun

Sitting in the 1st spring sun and watching you play,
Right now no one is as lucky as me.

I can truly see you for who you are,
~one a talkative, busy, animal lover
~the other a quiet, agile, explorer

Although I often dream of a home belonging to us
I wouldn't ever trade that for today (or any day) spent with you.


I have been really wrestling with my perceived need for a larger income so we can buy a house lately and have been considering getting a job somewhere. I have also been wondering if maybe I should just put the girls in school and increase the bottom line a bit. Really saying no to a free Waldorf education where Dada would be up the hall is quite hard some days. Today I was reminded of why I shouldn't do that :).
I have never claimed to be a good poet (or a poet at all for that matter) but this morning while the girls played around me and I sat in the sun I was moved to compose this. I thought I'd share it with you.
