Permesi

Paĉjo permesas

Du bestojn maksimume

Por nia domo

Be

What is our purpose?

Just to be is not enough.

Vanity sans God.

Ĉantaĝi

La nubo penas

ĉantaĝi la sunon;

Sed suno brilas.

Tree

The leaves turn upward

Green mouths thirsting for sunlight

Drink deep of Summer

Coffee

Dark morning coffee

Clears the winter's slumbering

Four seasons each day

Breakfast

What is for breakfast?

Tasty muffin and coffee.

Blueberry is best.

Pancakes

“Momma?”
I opened my eyes to see my son standing next to the bed. The clock said 3 in the morning.
“Are you sick, baby?”
“No, Momma.”
“Is there a stranger in the house?”
“No, Momma.”
“Is anything on fire?”
“No, Momma.”
“Then why are you waking me up at 3am?”
“I really want some pancakes!”
I groaned and let my head fall back on the pillow. Before I could say anything my husband leaned across the bed, “Son, do you see me eating pancakes?”
“No, Dad.”
“When Dad is eating pancakes, then you get to eat pancakes too,” said my husband. “Now go back to bed.”
I watched my son leave as quietly as he came in. As soon as the door closed my husband whispered, “I sure could use some pancakes to help me go back to sleep.”
I groaned and let my head fall back on the pillow. Again.
