the hum of the XBox has stopped
the last blue ring of kool aid stain fades from the kitchen counter
blades of grass swept from the floor
tired marbles now rest
lunch is made
instructions for safety and good manners
reminders to absorb it all
a kiss,a lingering hug
one more cup of coffee
laundry
making up the bed
a child's warmth still remains
