on the first day of school.
rain makes me want to
run to you
bend down low
grab you by the hands
run home
lie together under a warm, wet sky
like laundry didn't matter
make a big pot of cream soup
scoop it into earthen bowls
feed you
in front of cartoons
under a blankie
why does it always rain
on the first day of school?
Oh - I haven't got to the school stage yet but it's already raining in my mind and I want to scoop him back home! Loved this - thanks.
ReplyDeleteoh girl. i can't believe your kids are old enough to go to school. i don't think i'll be able to handle it. pretty sure i won't. and i think the reason it rains is because God is crying. love you.
ReplyDeleteit does! i don't remember this growing up, but this year and last (my only this end of the bus) have surely been damp. i wanted to curl up with my babes, too.
ReplyDeleteIt does cause Heaven feels our pain.....love this post Bethany and love the photo! :-)
