*For Mat who is nearly 3*
the child says
“come sit by me”
my heart dances
and I sit
at the piano
he says again
“come sit by me”
I do
and our fingers dance together
across black and white
make tigers growl
loudly then softly
birds twitter,
softly then loudly
he will not sing
making space once again
for me

Awww. This is so sweet Joan. Such a lovely poem xo
Thank you, my darling friend. I have been waiting for the invitation…he has taken more time than his brother to warm up to me. Love you!

Thank you, dear Patty!
This is so ABSOLUTELY wondrous — love to hear the tigers and birds and then the ending is so sweet – making space for me. God bless you and little Mat – now and forever more.
Thank you, dear Krishnapriya, a sweet delight to find you here!
