Adventures

By Justine C. Tajonera

I watch him
cry like it's the end
of the world
because I'm
not sitting next to
him.
I watch him laugh
hysterically
over a seagull
sticking his head
in the water.
I watch him
line up his
toy cars,
saying
"Bye bye Mommy,
Daddy" to every
single one,
then "Beep, beep"
because of the
traffic.
I listen to him
as he makes
Puss-in-Boots talk
to his red Ferrari.
I laugh as he
says, "One more,
one more!"
when he jumps
into a pool.
I smile when
he keeps
a picture of me, his Dad
and him
in his box
of treasures.
Life is
an adventure
always,
with him
by my
side.
