<i>for Richie</i>
I thank you son
for truly teaching me
I love the blooms as they
appear unexpectedly on the stalk
and I thought I wouldn't want you to pick them
but now I've seen that glorious smile
only inches away from your
tiny outstretched hand
giving me the gift of
a bloom you
loved
from Garden Songs (1995)
