Why We Need Each Other
…because sometimes,
in the middle of winter,
when the snow just keeps coming and coming,
one of us begs to put on a bathing suit and,
smelling of last year’s chlorine and sunblock,
reminds the rest of the family that spring is on its way;
that seasons give way to seasons;
and that today is a good one to hope.

Makes me want to put on my bathing suit too…on second thought…no it doesn’t! To spare myself and others, I will remain hidden under layers of generous warm clothes! Ah to be a child again when you can get away with a cute round belly!
