Everyday Niceties, Taken for Granted
May you appreciate the little niceties in life.
Measuring the little ones on the wall
Exclaiming, my, how you’ve grown, how tall
Staying up with the little one who won’t sleep
The doe-eyed look with, Mommy, I love you, I’ll keep
Discussing the patterns in the lace curtains
Husband says it looks like an elk
I say, a tiger, for certain
Singing out of tune to The Hotel California by the Eagles
Making the dog howl like a beagle
Moments passed in comfortable silence
Hoping to pass on this inheritance with a bit of guidance
