From the Caroline Files

"At the CareBear Day Spa"
(with apologies to William Carlos Williams)

so much depends

upon a seat on the floor

in a shaft of morning sunlight

with a two year old

bent over her work

polishing your fingernails

one by one

with shiny concealer

and confiding in you that

she loves Jesus

but does not want

to smell Him.
