'My Son's' by Mark Phillips

Sunshine and thunderclouds,
Blurring winds and tornado’s.
A flash of sporadic colors,
Followed by screaming shouts and pounding footsteps.

Wide smiles and innocent laughter,
Tears of rage coupled with frowns of pain.
Brave disobediance and hurt expressions,
Invincible daredevils made of delicate steel.

Heroic deeds with imagined foes,
Good and evil pitched in never ending battle.
Conquests dreamed and acted out,
Always finished in time for dinner.

Torn clothing and dirty faces,
Water fights in the bathroom.
Flooded floors, wet shirts and bright eyes,
Arguments at table, fighting at bedtime.

Perfect little angels, asleep and dreaming of tomorrow’s adventures.
