Some gifts are better than others

Splatter on laundry
Hung to dry in the sun
Damn bird

Rollerskates
Hockey to be played
Goals to score

A gift so precious
Unexpected, unasked for
I love you mommy

    I like these contrasting moments - one almost frustrating then comes something sweet.

    Awesome.

    I hate to say it, but I've yet to join the Writer's Island. I'm watching it, though.

    The poem is lovely. You've crafted it so well that we the readers are just as surprised by the last line as you are of the statement. Sweet and simply beautiful.

    oh may not really relate to all the love, but still it strikes me really good.
    I am sure you and any mom would love that right.
