Lying on his side
one arm stretched under
the pillow
the other resting on his
knee, bent- mantis like
I listen-
breath in and out
catching, softly snoring,
a slight smile crossing
his lips
I see the little boy
he once was
sweet and pure
his cares simple
Easy
And I fall
for him
all over
again.

Lovely! The soft simplicity is gorgeous.
Thanks, Deb- I woke up with this in my head...so I had to write it down, of course! Great picture, by the way!
Kathi, this is poignant, beautiful!
Love it! I want my cares to be simple again too. :)
