The boy in the bouncy castle

We sit patiently

Listening to the AGM 

Under old trees, blue skies 

             in the distance-
             a bouncy castle

Little people's voices ring out

as their mothers watch for safety

And there draped over the edge

A young man

off soon, to university

Invisible dreams shining 

in diamond bright eyes

shaded with uber-cool glasses

Somewhere inside that tall frame

is the boy

You've loved and raised

             My special memory, this sliver of time
            of this sunshine day 
            with you
