Black and White Magic

At sunrise this morning, I woke up to a small hand rubbing my arm

...whispering...


"Mommy...Is it time?"

"Is it my birthday? Am I four?"

I answered in a soft "YES, my sweet" "Your Four today."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

~ Her answer ~

A soft, gleeful...."YES!"

and she feel back to sleep in my arms.

the long road
