Spring can do that

Yesterday after work
We took a walk
Hand in hand
In the melting, slushy snow
No hats
No mittens
We talked of our day
And she found the moon
And a helicopter
We watched cars drive by
And we laughed as they splashed in the giant puddles
“I want a pool” she said
My darling girl you will get one
It will be small but it will be summer
And I felt some of the worry
And some of the fear
And some of the sadness
Melt from my shoulders
If only for a moment
