behind the screen

NaPoWriMo #12

got my fix of
baby gaze & friendly
a d o r a t i o n
yesterday as I
watched
my little man
radiate his joy
from the screen at the
sight of my face.
later, her dimpled face
& voice of sunshine
awakened my heart.
two loves, loving me,
at two different times. #NaPoWriMo #Poetry

I’ve not been able to visit my baby cousins every weekend as I am accustomed to doing, so yesterday, we had a little video chat session. It lifted my spirits tremendously. I also got a chance to chit chat with my sweet friend of God knows how long now. LOL. I’ve known her since she was a toddler (so maybe 32 years?). She is in the navy and is stationed in Japan–just to see her loving, sweet dimpled face was truly the highlight of my evening yesterday. 

Reach out to your loved ones, people. I did and I feel a bit better about not being able to see them during this time.
