Porching on a Saturday in October
But where are the little children? Well, here,
But they are tall, lanky teenagers now
With car keys and cutoffs and muscle shirts
Whispering, giggling, heavy-lifting
(Stop tormenting your sister!)
Dad wants the outdoor grill moved? Sure – watch this!
Pans and food from the kitchen to the grill
And back again? We’re well on top of it
Something from town? We’re on our way right now
(Stop hitting your brother!)
Children, like spring, must grow into summer
And their springs and summers are forever our joys
(And never stop loving each other.)
