Afternoon Naps

By Justine C. Tajonera

There are few luxuries
in life
as precious
as afternoon naps.
Holding my son's chin
close to my
shoulder,
adjusting the pillows
around us
and watching his
smile,
I cannot imagine
a better place
to be. 
Let everything wait:
exercise drills,
chores to be
done, 
work to
submit.
This afternoon
is all about
his sleepy
grin
and his hand
holding
mine
as he falls
asleep
in my
arms.
