Making Home Hereof

Early charms of April 
fooling around in the garden

spilling sun through trees
half as golden as his smile

falling into shadowy stares
of sky with no boundaries

where the roly-poly unfolds
its tiny feet in tickling time

he plants seeds with care,
full consideration of all soil

and sand and light and all
the in betweens of rains

spreading circles on mounds
patted with a prayer

and a hopeful heart
