“The Easy Choice”
I’d really like to be a clown
and dress in silly clothes.
I’d like to wear those great big shoes
and wear a big, red nose.
Yes, circus life sure looks like fun
and for it I do hanker,
or maybe I’ll be like my dad
and end up as a banker.
I said, “The choice will not be hard!”
Mom said, “That’s really great!”
I said, “The circus seems the best.”
Mom said, “That’s cause you’re eight.”

Ah, eight. A world so full of possibilities. Don’t give up.

You know, I find myself concerned about you these days. I’m not sure why. I hope you and yours are doing well. I just might be losing it! You are just a lovely man, and I hope all is well.

Thank you so much. We are not ill, just suffering the aftershocks of the accident.

Okay. That makes sense. That and the weight of the pandemic is a lot. Better days are ahead.
