I can play in the tent
I can play with these balls
But to have you play with me
Is what I want most of all!

He stands awed
By the glory
Of his Legos alive,
In a world
Made for children
Where prime colors
Can thrive,
And scaled up
Perspective
Puts dreams
In overdrive.

Ready To Go
Photo: Osnat Halperin-Barlev
I have all that I need:
My bag on my back,
Soother to help me accede,
Favorite hoodie,
Warm sleeves,
My baby tucked in carrier
Cozy and fast asleep.
I think all is ready.
Now we can leave.

Stories We Tell

And the stories that we tell
To small ones under
Good tales’ spell
Become the fabric
That unveils
The yarns they’ll spin
Or might dispel.

Workshop’s Assistant

When the books need a home
And a baby needs tending
There’s a case to be made
To setting the workshop’s
Assistant
Right in it.

Cookie Crumble

It is the cookie that she wants
No teddy bear, no owl, no bunny.
It is the cookie that she holds
In hand, not in her tummy.
She takes it with her to the park
She holds it all through bedtime story.
She’d bring it right into the bath
To her it’s mandatory.
Her mother sighs
Because she knows:
It is the cookie that will crumble
All over blanket, sheets, and pillow.
The cookie that she’ll have to pry the last remains of
From her child’s hand tomorrow.

Pack a Treat!

Come on Daddy, let’s pack
Some more rocks on your back
This way you will discover
All the treats I uncover
Also bugs and some leaves
Gifts for Mommy to retrieve.

Her Golden Child

He’d always been her golden child, born after years of sorrow.
He’d always been her precious jewel, the promise of tomorrow.
He’s gone to take the saffron robes, been hers only to borrow.

Market Day

“Where is that boy?” Hassan demanded.
“I sent your son to your father,” Um-Ali responded from below.
Her voice was calm in the way that often enraged him. As if she’s talking to a baby, he fumed.
“What were you thinking?!” he exploded. “You know I need him on market day!”
“I know you need help on market day,” she stated. “I called Mustafa.”
Her brother. Lord of bossy annoyance. Hassan glowered at his wife.
She chuckled. “You look exactly as Ali had this morning when he thought he’d have to go with you.”

New To You

There it is
The first one,
Breaking through
Your sore gum.
Yet you smile
Wide and true:
Budding tooth
New to you.
