Cloud Watching

cool summer breezes
tickle toes and the green grass
as we watch the sky

little blonde-haired boy
his head on mommy's shoulder
blue eyes on the clouds

look! there's a fishy
swimming there with the airplanes
high up in the blue

his eyes scan the sky
not fishy! I see tractors!
that's my little boy

he scampers away
and plays oh so busily
while life hurries on


*Inspiration: I was laying outside on a blanket with my baby boy while my toddler played in the sandbox with his trucks, tractors, etc.; unexpectedly my boy came and lay down next to me and we shared a nice little moment.

  8. You don't mention a genre of books that you enjoy reading. If you like fantasy, may I suggest one to try? "Outcasts Of Skagaray" is an action fantasy adventure, which you can preview free by reading the sample chapters on www.threeswans.com.au By the way, I did take in the poem. I've had special moments with my children, too - I should write about them on my blog, which is http://threeswans.blogspot.com if you ever want to visit. I'd be thrilled if you read and enjoyed my book - but best wishes, whatever happens. Bless your family.

  9. The best part of our day is when we stop and enjoy the moment. I loved the imagery and could almost fell the grass and see the sky.
