SOL19 Day 18 A Little Bear

Seventeen years on a shelf,

this blue bear,

a daily reminder

of the little one

born this day:

delightful

“Owie, Owie, I’m OK!”

sensitive

“There’s bees on you!”

playful

“I think I saw a fairy.”

ready

“Let’s play a game”

creative

“Look what I made”

artistic

-paints a sunset

for her father-

aware

-tutored children

in Haiti-

blue

-mourns her father-

restless

-school’s a bore-

hopeful

-plans career-

adores

-crochets baby blanket for sister-

active

-snowboards with mom-

reflective

-ponders life’s wonders

and choices-

I see these daily

in a blue bear

on the shelf

and

send

the grown one

hugs

so she knows

she is loved

every moment

of every day.
