Staying Powers


Staying Powers

 

How can a mix of

Touching cat whiskers,

Itching for Christmas morning baking in a pastry of ironed sheets,

Watching rain as stubby fingers paint in flour at a kitchen table

Waiting to lick the bowl,

Tongue wrestling peanut butter off your teeth,

Nurturing a hapless June bug in a jar house of cotton balls,

 And Mom’s hugs

Still stir up such wonderment in a jaded vessel.

-Jerry Wendt 2010
