Portrait of Splashing Puddles
The mother chuckles and stops chasing.
Instead she watches her child
as he steps in and out of the puddles.
The boy giggles and looks at her
as the water soaks his cold toes.
The father slips off his shoes and socks
to join his son in the puddles,
the ageless water splashing upon them
as the rains still drips from their faces:
all smiles, watching each other laugh.

Again I get inspiration hanging out with my sister and her family. This actually happened. I love writing portraits, or what I call portraits, because I get a lot out of them. Fun stuff. Hope you like it.
