Good Muther, good night

[Along with an Easter gift, a personal headlamp, for my grandson.]

Yeah!
for Cruz

A little light to put on your head,
so you can say, "Good Muther, good night,"
and later sneak-read cosy in bed.

Or you and sis can explore about
without any fear--the dark hates light.
Because there's nothing like going out!



[Along with an Easter gift, a pocket notebook, for my granddaughter.]

Beddy bye
for Lola

Here's a little book
you can read when you're twenty.
Yes, empty right now
but you know there is plenty
of things that you do,
and things that just happen
worth noting and making a note.
So start now--everything's ready.
Life won't stand still
for children before beddy.
