Another day floats by

On this day

Down came the rain

Never too fast but

Always down and

In and out of it we ran

Never too fast but

Always moving

All morning long

From drop off

To pick up

We talked

Sang

Read and

Were silent

He walked

He was carried

He wore tennis shoes

Brown shoes

No Shoes

I wore boots and

Sandals

We saw bare trees and

Daffodils and

Nothing that resembled an umbrella

He said I love you

So did I

There was a hug or two

A confrontation or two and

Some alphabet crackers

By next week or

Thereabouts

All he’ll remember will be the alphabet crackers
