Tide Pools

The tide pools sheltered crabs and urchins.
The boys jumped from rock to rock
And I watched the waves shoot up the crevice
And spray high overhead.

While amazed at the power and beauty,
I longed to get away.
If a boy slipped and fell while the wave came,
How could that boy survive?

Parenting: an exercise in amazement
And paying attention.
