Caleb’s luxuriant blond curls had grown long enough
To make him look a bit chubby, a lot babyish.
But in the weeks since his hair was cut,
I cannot believe how much he looks like a real boy.
I can imagine him heading off to kindergarten,
With his complete sentences and his bright eyes
And his eagerness (and occasional meltdowns).
What a treasure he would be for a teacher,
And what a privilege that I get to keep that goodness for myself.
