balance

we are finding a balance

sometimes that means,
a trip to 7-11 for pink Slurpee's
and sometimes it means
salmon, corn and salad


sometimes it means letting them be "big"
like riding a scooter at two

and sometimes it means
grabbing them close and not letting go

no matter how hard they try to resist.

sometimes it means
family togetherness ad nauseum

and sometimes it means
man time with our front porch


sometimes balance simply shows
in this little guy's mad skills


or in this girl's understanding that her blue wig is for home only


we are finding a balance and it is good.
