Recognizing a Literary-Based Childhood

I was not always appreciative 

of my parents' 

love for literature 

and wonderful imaginations,

But, I am now.

We ski, hike, and walk  

in Prince Caspian Woods

We play Pooh Sticks at Pooh Sticks' Bridge

in winter, spring,summer and fall

dropping them in here...

and watching them come out here...

For almost 48 years

this mountain road 

that we call home

has not only

brought us 

closer together

it has brought us closer 

to the books we love.
