long-awaited
springtime comes
robins prune the
lawn for worms
baseball games dot
every diamond
as parents applaud
their young
running bases,
jumping hurdles, safe
each little vignette
a memory
and at the same time
anticipation
the beams of love
carrying generations
through the cycle of
the seasons
in all the great
games our children play
evoking pride,
teaching teamwork, rules
these things make us
pleased, more likely
to follow the
seasons of our lives
spring to summer,
fall to winter
cycles, stages, all
the fullness of emotion
quite the way we
clearly see it all
