Signs of Love


Little mittens stuffed inside
Boots by the back door
Toque upon the doorknob
Backpack on the floor

On the kitchen table
Homework yet to do
Nearby are wax crayons
Red and green and blue

Signs of love that lives here
Signs of special joy
Signs of young sweet wisdom
Signs of a little boy
