My 2nd poetic effort, I'm hoping not to be a "one hit wonder" Please review and advise. |
| Time is showing on my hands, they're dry and wrinkled - maybe it's all those baby baths, mountains of laundry or piles of dishes; They're kind of stiff and gnarly - no doubt from all those high-fives, pats on the back and herculean hugs in the best and the worst of their lives; My nails are cracked and brittle - possibly too many years of not putting aside time and money for that manicure to pack lunches, go to a ballgame or a school play; Little brown spots - perhaps too many years in the sun, outings to the beach, picnics in the backyard and parades; Each mark a memory of years gone by, these days with everyone grown, I definitely have, time on my hands. |
