You Are Loved Too


When we were little, you and I
would sit in the back yard waiting -

laying on our backs, staring up 
at the clouds, waiting for inspiration

to strike. Every summer we went out
and bought a new bucket of chalk

so we could outdo ourselves from 
the previous doodles and hopscotch boards. 

But I think my favorite summer of all
was the one we just wrote messages

for all the neighbors to see as they 
walked their dogs or jogged to work.

When we were little, you and I
had such big dreams - thank you

for helping me make all mine 
come true as the summers passed.
