In Defense of the Canis lupus

I was born into the fold of black sheep.
Therefore, I believe I am allotted at least one major pitfall or setback in the next few years.
I have yet to cash in my token, but believe me, I am sure getting antsy.

Baa.

on [not] being so content

i never really understood all the lines, the frustration, the waiting...
i know, i know, i know...

Fridays are the worst

for reminding me that I am not as close as I ought to be.
when the chilly air creates water unbearable,
&all the dogs are begging for daily walkings.
I miss, i Miss, I Miss...
hiding in the pantry, eating tortilla chips,
chasing ducks in the yard,
&being 1 of 5.
i know it`s a stretch to feel joy [the same way every time?]
I know, i Know, I Know...
but, you see, I haven`t been home in so many years!

&maybe he knows some things we don`t.
like the best ways to celebrate father`s day:
all curled up on poppa daddy`s lap,
with the tiniest fingers wrapper around mama`s grace-filled hands.

administration

don`t tell your wife that
you never wear your wedding
to work on week days.

and the sidewalk holds diamonds like a jewelry store case

I went to Knapp's Castle this Saturday with four / sevenths of my family.
I found assorted jewels. [apart from the ones with me] Sure, they may just look like pieces of glass to some, but just you wait!
