One Day I Won't








One day I won't
find little dinosaurs anymore

One day I won't
find tiny dolls in
my socks anymore

One day there won't
be little trucks
on my toes anymore

and One day
I won't find
small killer whales
on the pavement

One day I won't find
purple dolphins
in my pockets anymore

One day
I won't find
itty bitty
little policemen
in my glove compartment
anymore

and One day
I won't fantasize
about
UFO's anymore
they'll be real

One day
I won't find
thumb sized trolls
in my oven mitts anymore

One day
I won't find Captain Kirk
frozen in the freezer
anymore

One day I won't
vacuum up
killerwhales and one day I won't find unicorns
under my pillow
anymore

One day I won't hear
B__M jokes
anymore

One day
I won't take away a blanket
to find
a killer whale head anymore

One day
I won't find Batman
in my bed anymore (sigh)

and one day I won't
find a tiny Spiderman in my pillow case
anymore (double sigh)

One Day
You will both turn around
and see me at the car
and remember our drives
here and there

Love Mom

These findings are all seperate moments over the course of four years when I would not expect anything but find a little treasure from one of my children when they were very young. The years were from 1993 - 1996

Krista loved Killerwhales, Unicorns and Dolphins, and John loved freezing male toys in glass jars filled with water (as punishment I was told), and he loved both Spiderman and Batman.

These two wonderful human beings are now 19 and 17 years old, with different passions of enjoyment but just as beautiful as when they were little tots running, playing and being children..........with me following along

Now it is me in the driver's seat (holding my breath and gripping the seat) as they drive me through town.
