Full: After a photo of Chris & Ecton on the swing at Hindman
Sure, he has your belly
that peaks out and begs
for “More, More”
and my Mama says
he walks like you, too—
more thunder than pitter patter.
I see his easy laugh,
the way he watches
you kiss on the lips.
What more could a boy hope for
than a daddy who licks his fingers.

Lovely image, Meredith! By the end of the month, you and Chris should have enough Ecton poems for a book!
“more thunder than pitter patter” and “a daddy who licks his fingers”. Good.
Oh I agree. Such great sounds
I’m going to enjoy reading these this year
