Samuel -

Sammyball. Star Wars, Patrick Star

Snoopy laughter, silliness.

Chicken nuggets, vanilla ice-cream, cinnamon toasted oats.

Thomas the Tank Engine, Sam Puppy Dude.

He’s the third of five (soon to be six), the second of four (?).

Little one with the big saucer eyes and the toothy grin.

Serious when the world is silly.

Six years you celebrated. Many more I long to see him spend.

My heart – blessed by

flowers and ponies – pretties for hair,

dresses and bows.

Pink.

Gentle hugs, fluttering eyelashes,

skipping and singing,

date night.

Pictures spoken from your heart,

hanging on my work walls.

Songs you sing float in my mind.

You’re getting big, little one.

Learning, living, daring, dancing.

I’m loving all…
