my maddonari

For those of you who have never gone to see "I maddonari" it is amazing.  Basically it is a time when local businesses sponsor an artist to create a chalk drawing.  The quality and diversity is great and when do you ever really sit down and talk to your children about Picasso's Cubism, Degas impressionism and the weird swamp monster picture that Trader Joe's sponsored.  The kids were inspired.

Tell me a story!

First born

Trail blazer star gazer
first act, stage fright
curtain raiser.

whistling wonder
happy hummer
you transform the grumpiest grumbler

always smiling, heart beguiling
reaching, stretching, upward climbing

tender hearted, your life's uncharted
keep that soul of yours ramparted

Live for God and you'll live with joy
you'll always be his child
and my little boy.




And for those of you out there that hate poetry I'll say it like it is: I love my son!!
