1

silent night
presents glistening
under the tree

2

as distant as space
he pretends not to notice
as she slips away

3

we used to hold hands
the bed smells like his cologne
it’s fading away

4

fussy whining
bottle warmer ding
assisted burps

5

load the car
pee before we leave
off to grandma's

6

cap and gown
steps across the stage
a new chapter

7

bride and groom
dancing on the floor
honeymoon

8

father-daughter
hooks and worms
brisk air

9

chili on the stove
tv turned up loud
touchdown!

10

homemade
coffee
mug was too

11

hot water bubbles
frosted eyelids
join the club

12

driving home
spins and spirals
all okay

13

snow is falling
out we go
fun in the snow

14

the time for cheer
for all to hear
Christmas is here

15

bundle up
icy cold trees
snowball fight awaits

16

two rocks
a carrot and a scarf
snow and a smile

17

hat and gloves
snow boots by the door
waiting on mom

18

following the nurse
down the hall
eyes facing forward

19

feeling so alive
always running through town
no care in the world

20

I click submit
finally I feel
relief . . .

21

off to college
time flies
a lifetime ahea

22

cool night
playing
warm dinner ready inside

23

sand between our toes
sun shining brightly
it begins to rain

24

listen to the faint song
that changes keys
from world’s far away

25

snow falling
presents wrapped underneath
the artificial tree

26

Santa's coming
reindeer carrots and
cookies on the table

27

the first day of school
running into the room
I love you, mom

28

merry christmas
happy new year
back to class

29

don’t make a peep
watch closely
head on the wall

30

summer heat
harder and harder
to count the sheep

31

watching the sunset
my thoughts go to a calm place
I feel secure now

32

mommy turns into
a first name basis
to look cool for friends

33

summer evening
hide and seek
until mom calls
