DAILY SNACK
In a sea of pink,
There was my little strawberry-headed boy,
In broad red and black stripes.
A few pigtails over,
Were his cousins,
One in brown and gray and another pink-clad little girl.
There were exactly three boys attending this performance of,
Pinkalicious, The Musical.
All the kids sat on carpets near the stage and the adults found chairs behind them.
For 50 minutes, Colum sat and watched intently,
And then for the last ten minutes,
He found me and settled into my lap.
Not a baby anymore, certainly.
But not so big either.
