The Blessing (For L.)

Touching your finger,

I say to you “Hey, Boo!”

Bursting out in laughter,

you say to me “More! More!”

Smiling at you gently,

I pinch your little tow.

Laughing at me loudly,

you say to me “No more!”

Sitting at the table,

I draw for you a house.

Armed with yellow pencil,

you draw for me a tree.

You sneeze –

I say “God Bless you”.

I sneeze you –

 say “Good Night”.

I’m opening your door –

you’re sleeping.

I’m kissing you –

Good night.

At the table,

later – smiling,

I say at least

“I’m blessed”.
