There is a park just blocks from where I live that always does an amazing job of decorating for Christmas. The festive glow of the lights provides an air of wonder and magic – and never fails to make me feel like a kid again!

At the Park
Yesterday I passed a couple in the park
as I walked through the rain with my umbrella.
I don’t think they noticed me at all.
“Discontent” perhaps describes them best of all.
When she stood, walked away and left the park,
all he saw was the back of her umbrella.
I caught her eyes as she peeked from the umbrella.
She seemed passive, but relieved most of all,
while he sat there all alone in the park.
Today at the park, I didn’t need my umbrella at all!
