(this was inspired by emptying my suitcase this morning after spending the long weekend in Santa Cruz with our kids and their families, celebrating our fortieth wedding anniversary)
Here is what I unpack from my suitcase:
Sandcastles on the beach
Conversations with my children as the sky grows pink then
Inky black
With candleglow to light our trips down memory lane
A game of Go Fish with Eli and Audrey
Girl Party in the back seat with Esme
A frosted slice of anniversary cake
Orange as the morning sky
Sweet as this forty year trip together.
Such a lovely poem about a very special weekend. Thanks for sharing it with us.
