Sentimental Moment or Why Did the Baguette Cross the Road?

Don't fill up on bread

I say absent-mindedly

The servings here are huge

 

My son, whose hair may be

receding a bit, says

Did you really just

say that to me?

 

What he doesn't know

is that when we're walking

together, when we get

to the curb

I sometimes start to reach

for his hand

 

~Robert Hershon
