"The Brown-Haired One"
Again.
He hears my favorite words.
Again.
A hint of familiar agitation shapes his face into the makings of a bashful grimace.
It's betrayed by the the soft light in his eyes.
A little sigh escapes his lips
And through the smile that he just can't help but wear
(much to his chagrin)
Again
He reminds, almost chiding
sometimes in an I-told-you-so sing song
that with each passing year gets softer
less annoyed
more proud
(if you could call it proud)
"I know, mommy. You tell me every day."

I read your poem and could feel the motherly love. I enjoyed the usage of again. It is such a simple word yet it means so much. You painted a beautiful picture here. You made me think of my child and everything she says. Therefore, you (and her) are my inspriation for this week's poem.

Lynn, I have to say, you seem to be on fire this year. This is incredible. Great use of the prompt, technically sound, beautifully worded, wonderfully wise.
