1. Breakfast table one morning in Eastern France
   Enjoying Cafe au Lait and croissants au chocolat
   All of us happy to be reunited at last
   I love the sound of family bruhaha
   Memories rushing through my mind of a not so distant past
   When all of a sudden all bodies present enter a trance
   rushing all at once to the closest window
   What can possibly create such havoc in my family peace
   Is it the sight of a giant sparrow
   or was I followed by a Canadian geese
   Would be funny if one happened to be flying by
   But no only the sound of a moped noisily passing by
   because you never know when your house is being spied on
   And one by one they all return to their seat
   sipping on cafe au lait with a slight feeling of deceat
   washing it down with a bite of a croissant au chocolat
   I just miss the sound of my family bruhaha….

2. Snack at play group

   toddlers and moms
   sitting on a tablecloth
   draped on the floor
   picnic time!

   One mom takes out
   fruit leather and juice
   another unpacks
   oaties and raisins
   mom # 3 spreads
   cheese on crackers

   but child number one
   thinks snack number three
   looks yummier and
   scoots over with wide eyes
   and open hands
   child number two
   stares at snack number one
   smacking lips
   child number three craves
   snack number 2
   with open lips

   It’s the grass is greener…
   in action
   spontaneous sharing
   quiet smiling faces
   munching mouths
   resigned sighs from moms
