NaPoWriMo 16 2017

Brightly colored eggs litter the lawn

and plastic ones lie in nooks and crannies

within the house, while cheery music

plays from the kitchen radio.

Mom is making her famous

green bean casserole, and 

as always, I've got a pen in 

one hand. We're not a religious

family, but Easter has always

been a day just for family. 

Few distractions and something

bigger than a normal weekend.

Especially now that I'm working

six days a week to mom's five,

Ash is studying more than ever,

and the boys have their own goals -

we hardly even breathe the same air. 

I have to leave for work soon,

but I loved this while it lasted.
