Target

I loved that puppy
He had green glasses

Always a new, too-short beard
And too-high ears

The sass behind the glass of his eyes
Filled me with words

He’ll never know
He was framed

Grown Up

I can only
Seek the magic
In you life
I know you’re there

Ten again
I’m taken back
To Santa Clause
And silly times 

You were there 
I can’t pretend
I didn’t see you
Caring at the tree
