Love Poem: Patience

Patience

Winter clouds hang so low
pregnant with snow
    gray and solemn.
         Promising

Sweet laundry hangs
heavy on the line,
    stiff with February frost.
         Forlorn

Soft curls escape wooly hat
as he sits on his Big Wheel 
beneath his
     crispy blankie.
         Comforted

Reaching fingers caress silky binding
reachable.
        Thumb plugged in.

Life is good.
