sky in dappled waves
water laps sandstone boulders
pleasant memories surface
of tossing stones with my son
a child then, and a child now

“a child then, and a child now” What a good line!
Thank you! My youngest son, who is 20 now, has autism. We used to sit on those same sandstone boulders and chip rocks off them with a pocket knife to toss & skip into a local pond. Years ago . . .
That’s a lovely picture you describe!
I fully agree with Ily1205 – that line is what I loved most too !!
