Today . . .
A gift from friends--
Impressions,
Sean's foot-prints
and hand-prints,
His name, a date, 1988.
Sean . . . happy,
Age 7, in wet cement--
Today--rock solid,
In concrete,
Eternal.
Nikki and Ralph,
brought the house--
years ago -- Today,
In kindness -
Unbidden, unasked,
Brought to me
A concrete affirmation
of Sean's existence.
In the rain,
They lugged and dug
And set it there--
In my back yard,
Under the rose tree,
One moment of life -
Frozen in time.
And with only words,
I try to express
How profoundly
It helps me heal--
This lasting impression.
