Crayons Don't Cry
Colored smudges on the table top from the picture she drew, now hanging by alphabet magnets on our fridge. A typical drawing of a six year old; stick figures of mom and dad, her and baby sister. Yellow flowers in front of a red house, with a bee as big as a hummingbird. Our house isn't red... That's OK, I put smoke coming out the top, but we don't have a fireplace. Why do mommy and daddy have tears? 'Cause you're sad about nana dying. Why don't you have tears? 'Cause I know, she's in heaven. She went out to play, while thoughts of red houses, fireplaces and heaven soared with my afternoon tea. Feb. 17, 2010 © Steve Pray |
