Two thousand battery operated scattered plastic dollars
Every shape and function
Bats and nets and balls of all sizes yet
Daddy's back, his broad warmth
Horsecollar tugs to keep him
Filled to stars and silly laughter
Deep from toes singing
Magic of an after dinner family room
Heavy on Superman spinning
Four funny wheels like he'd last forever except
Drawing down
Her waiting lap
Mesmerized by sight and anxious
Close and not long but just right
Amidst mess to rest
Tired and twinkling, all of them
Sleepy, full as night.
