Raymond A. Foss Poems

Back to Poems Page

An extra precious moment of peace
stopping the back and forth of my day
crouch down before her, as she adjusts
the new backpack on her small frame
stocking cap and matching mittens
mark the change of season
a winter coat, open at the front
I slowly match the zipper halves,
zip up the coat and snap it shut
tapping her on the chest
She gives me that smile, that hug
that melt your heart, “I love you daddy”
She turns and is gone, out the door
Pre-school awaits after all
don’t want to be late for gym, Dad
Off she goes and I return to my tasks
happier for taking the moment
to zip her coat
