Thoughts are like skipping stones on a quiet lake. If you don't write them down ...kerplunk.

cinco de mayo
4:47am
fifth of may
another child born
into this world
my child
into my world
a little baby girl
pride and joy
big smiles and cooing
soon crawling
walking
then talking and talking
mama, papa, MILK
pre school, grade school, middle and high
summer camp
swimming
running some
drawing, painting, writing
too soon driving
this girl
my girl

becomes a woman
smart with honors
hardworking
now a nurse
a life all her own
to share with another man
full of love and hope
her future is to come
now many seasons have passed
cinco de mayo
fifth of may
pride and joy
