" Family "

Halloween 2009
my dads birthday
something happened
it just happened
maybe we had been thinking
about it probably wondering
and watching
I am not sure
we were at Greune
a small texas town
Nick my oldest son
was in a bicycle race
it was warm sunny day
mom Sheri and baby Hadley
and grandma and grandson Kody
were spectators
we were hanging out
until Nick started at 3:29pm
Sheri came to me laughing
with delight
she had just discovered
Hadleys first tooth
Kody and I laughed
and felt inside Hadleys mouth
and sure enough there it was
a tooth had just punched
through her bottom gum
another first
so many in the beginning
time marks our days
as it moves us along
braiding us together
by something called family
