Tiny Moments
Stillness accompanies these moments,
The moments of past reflex,
The ones that land you on tricycles;
Launches off chain linked swings,
Jumping to fresh mowed grass;
Rolling down hills so much higher than life...
Tiny moments that built the future;
The moments that explained the goal,
To reach happiness, to sustain joy;
The smells of clover and honeysuckle...
The bumbling of the bees bouncing off the flowers;
Tiny moments of giggles, laughter...
I know that a man has encased my child...
It is the tiniest moments that I hold dear...
