blue jacket all zipped up
blonde curls like love
he stands on tiled floor between mother and father
big lined boots signal January
and hands grip new yellow toy backhoe and drill
because play!
parents look on ready to fly home
to the cats and apartment on a hill
yet this is the wary world right now
on departure floor of brightly lit terminal
waiting for goodbyes and hugs
and the eternal advice from Mr. Fred Penner
take good care of each other
