February 3, 1999
Jim Parker came to school last month he’d been expected for days
my boy was some excited he wanted a guitar
so we made him one, smallish out of an old Kleenex box, elastic and some cardboard strips all taped together and off he went guitar, backpack, and some shades after spending an evening with a marker or two tongue between his lips adding life to daddy’s makings smiling ear to ear though not a dinosaur in sight
at times like that God’s best reward is being father to a child like that
and to his sister more recent to the scene her babies clothed in her old cast off undies heaped upon her beds my little long haired girl her brother’s favourite friend last night in her nightdress her imaginings released she became a bird soaring ever graceful upon our kitchen floor to and fro little legs unencumbered by schwebes however short or long
God’s greatest gift His allowance to love without condition
