Eye-opener
Today he asked for hide and seek—
eyes squeezed shut, a slow count
to twenty. Equal squeals at finding
and being found eased my tired
eyes open—the smile-brightened
face my day’s candy.

My days candy! Yes!
Love every word, especially:
Equal squeals at finding
and being found
my day’s candy.
Yes every time.
