summer sets

in the heat of the day I nap at lunch in my car
and dream of what I'd rather be doing
though I think of cleaning the kitchen floor and
ridding the basement of debree - lots of it exists there
instead of climbing mountains and emotions surpassing boredom
yesterday was my grandsons 2nd birthday party
he turned two last thursday and he is oh so lovely and sweet
my smiling budda baby with arms outstretched saying up up to grandma
as I lift and sink my face into his head of curly soft hair and smell
his lashes longer than the distance to the sun
hovering over smiling brown eyes - God I love this baby boy
the blood of my own and a picture of confidence and surety
I hope to live long enough to watch him grow to be a man
and maybe enjoy the same with his own as I do with him
the love of an infant is so unlike any other - thats my experience
I am not unique of that I am certain, not only regarding the grandparenting
I think I'll dream of rainbows and walks in nature and hot springs
splashing on my body, the next time I nap at lunch hour
or maybe on my drive home today
