A poem for my sweet Dylan seems appropriate on a day like today.
Dear Dylan:
The dolphins danced in the waves today.
A red-tailed hawk floated tirelessly in the clouds.
A rainbow appeared over the waves at the OB Pier.
The pelicans flew in formation to make a smile.
The hummingbirds flitted from branch to branch.
The glow of the orange crescent moon shone brightly.
And the memory of you keeps my heart alive
and open to all that nature has to offer.
Thank you Dylan,
for being my darling, curious,
loquacious and compassionate son.
