Carpe Diem Haiku: Affection

Affection, children, Family, school

Carpe Diem Prompt: Affection.

Every morning, before my sons depart for school they kiss me goodbye. No matter how stressed I am or how much I yell at them to hurry up, while their father honks the horn in irritation, they never forget to place tiny lips against my cheeks 🙂 It is a routine that gives me much joy and pride 🙂

Affection

warm lips against cheeks

as the boys  breeze out for school

my cup runs over
