It’s hard not to love the world.
A small boy at Dunkin’ Donuts
all blue eyes - tousled hair
curls his toes
on the rung of his chair
waves at me through the glass.
Leaving Dunkin’, one dad
holds the door for another as
his daughter spins in her red skirt
and her dark curls fly
in a little girl’s flirt.
Saturdays with her dad.
How can I not love this routine
weekend trips with children?
Media so rarely features bliss,
family outings, courtesy
better than a kiss is the
kindness and joy that hold us here.
A WELL TRAVELED HEART
