Monument Valley:
the perfect sunrise rest stop
to light our faces


snow at Grand Canyon:
surprise bucket list side trip
to catch her snowfall


all three together:
it feels like a bucket list
to let them g(r)o(w)

snow at Grand Canyon:
surprise bucket list side trip

all three together:
it feels like a bucket list
to let them g(r)o(w)
a new Corona
three years after quarantine
back to wilderness
girls’ trip for spring break
to collect our Subaru
and meet our sister
miracle arches
connect the past and future
with hope for this life
your bucket list waits
for a ‘delicate’ sunset,
a breathtaking arch
your children await
at the top of a boulder
with the perfect view
a lifetime awaits
at the end of vacation
yet memories last
ski day reverie
filled with powder grins,
soft turns, silent flakes
always a long day
yet happiness takes its time
falling from the sky
