Reminder
Restless rain keeps time for us
as fast running little legs
under colorful raincoats
mostly red and yellow
gather at the street corner
to catch the school bus.
After our second coffee,
as usual, we glance
at the family pictures on the wall
that is painted Jamaican Sunshine.
Thinking about my youngest…
how relentlessly he asked
to take the training wheels off
his first bike.
Peter Ferenczy just retired after 30 years in Information Technology and lives in Everett, Washington. There is nothing he enjoys more than spending time with his grandchildren, Mark and Mila.
SHARING STORIES is a weekly column for and about the 50 plus crowd living in the Puget Sound region. Send your stories and photos to ariele@comcast.net. Tell local or personal stories; discuss concerns around aging and other issues; share solutions, good luck, and reasons to celebrate; poems are fine too. Pieces may be edited or excerpted. We reserve the right to select among pieces. Photos are always a plus and a one-sentence bio is requested (where you live, maybe age or career, retired status, etc.).
