MADISON SNOW

Crackling fire

Icy Saturday night

Snow flurries dancing

In the yellow glow of streetlights

Cozy wonderful time

My son

Serene

Absorbed in play

On the carpet at my feet

Colored pencils blazing

At work on a special greeting

His Mom’s Valentines Day surprise

Innocence prevails

No worries of global strife

Or daily inconvenience

Our time together

Sacred

Enriching

I watch him grow in wonder

His curiosity

Ever blooms into young maturation

Hours pass by us slowly

We focus on the simple joys

Togetherness

Paternal cherished bond

Creative role playing sessions

Sitting in my chair

“Morphing Shadow Rangers”

“Night Wolf” bad guys

Red cloaked heroes

I

Always the villain

He

Forever the hero

His gentle disposition

Moves me

Inspirational reason to remain in the game

Intelligent mischievousness

Always pushing the boundaries

Relentless in his young quest

A quick glance

At Cartoon Network’s latest distraction

Then it’s back to the imaginative battle

Double edged lesson of good versus evil

A learning rite of passage

Our life as one is passive

Effortless

Uncluttered

Blessings flow in abundance

Through my brilliant loving child

Life is good at the Grimes house

Let it snow

Psalm 127:2-4 (King James Version)

King James Version (KJV)

 2It is vain for you to rise up early, to sit up late, to eat the bread of sorrows: for so he giveth his beloved sleep.

 3Lo, children are an heritage of the LORD: and the fruit of the womb is his reward.

 4As arrows are in the hand of a mighty man; so are children of the Youth.
