breaking through
the loneliness
laughter
breaking through
the loneliness
laughter
guest house dawn
sizzling bacon
and seagull song
longer days
the ceaseless creak
of the playground swings
appreciating
what’s on the doorstep
holidays at home
the first time
you smile again
approaching spring
winter birthday
frosted icing
on the window
pudding bowl
her hands stir the start
of Christmas
first warm day
every passing stranger
smiling too
