I dreamed last night I got on the boat to Heaven . . .

crisp, white shirt
clean, black dress pants
perfectly combed hair
pearly white smile
so tall
so handsome

confidently singing

Fugue for Tinhorns
Guys and Dolls
Luck Be a Lady
Sit Down, You're Rockin' the Boat

Seize the Day

when did my boy become a man?
my heart swells while I blend into a sea of proud parents.

treats.
cookie dough shake for him.

a long drive down winding country roads.

it is late
but we arrive home too soon.
the cool breeze of a warm spring night,
a navy sky studded with twinkling stars.
we can't bring ourselves to go inside.

we grab our bikes and ride at a neck breaking pace
thru the silent neighborhood.
it's a game
to see who will win

but I've already won

because he is mine.
