I watched a young couple, early twenties, stepping lively across the way. Talking, smiling, exuberant, not a single care seemingly spoiling their day. They kept step to a silent tune, a generation gap my ear did not get. Walking lightly, skipping slightly, two lovers you can certainly bet I think about the days ago when we were like they and then I think about the ways ago when we were lively, sleek and thin. I dream of the moments when we thought rabbits could not compare. I remember the second when she came blushing after killing the doctor’s hare. I don’t have a memory of the night when my first child was born Sadly, I was not there to be seen, my heart and feelings truly torn. I will tell you all this feeling from the bottom of my war torn heart. I can reassure my children now that I have dearly loved them from the start. Tim, Ash......I love you..... Lou......thank you for killing the hare..... |
