Four

Never knew
I'd find love again,
never thought
it'd happen like this.

Seven years ago
away went the dreams
the union,
the lives
that
we
had hoped for,
had planned.

Except for One.
She stuck with me, and together, we forge
Intrepid Life Explorers
new territory,
friendships,
places,
love.
And now, with Adam,
come Three More
makes me smile as I write
'cause
we'll
take
it
all,
she and I.

Yes.  Please.

Love the company, the play,
the backseat singing,
the take turn arguing,
the no-tech bartering,
the can't sleep annoying,
the mealtime talking,
the hotels and motels,
lakes and pools,
happy laughing,
together adventuring,
ice-cream dripping
too-long-in-the-car-road-trip-tripping,
and aunts and uncles and grandparent sharing.

And
Oh The Sleep -
when they're all
Finally
Down...
It is then that I feel family,
stronger than ever
and know that though
Lily and I are
one
tight
duo,
there's always room
for
more.
