in a shallow puddle;
racing invisible
make believe motorcycles
around the basement,
we fell exhausted
onto the couch,
pushing its texture
into our rosey cheeks,
at peace;
denying our Nature,
the power of her tears.
my every day friend.

Pretty amazing when they finally do go to sleep, isn't it? Good one Brian!
Beautiful! Your family is so lucky to have you as their forever friend.
Smiles.
Oh, such a sweet friend. What a guy!
Sleep sweetly, beautiful boy. :)
I love how sweet children look when they are sleeping. He is precious!
So cute.. very cute..what an adorable face..
Lovely picture. Sleeping fully content. No better way in the world.
Sleeping children are one of the wonders of the world. And so beautiful.
Sweet, the creative wave at it's ebb.

I'm thinking the puddle didn't survive the encounter either. Beautiful turn of the phrase, there, and a very very beautiful photo.
Absolutely angelic. Beautiful post.
A Friend Forever! Happy T.T. Sir!
I love how devilish little boys look like angels when they sleep!
Maybe the weather had a little bit to do with the sound sleep. Rain always wipes me out!
"racing invisible
make believe motorcycles"
FUN!!!
What a beautiful boy.
Happy tt Brian.
I'm with Beth. But I think it's because I appreciate how quiet they are when they're asleep.
Hah!
It's my son's birthday today. Twenty-two years.
Boys are so wonderful.... when they're sleeping!!!
And why am I the only person who loves that you "fell exhausted onto the couch, pushing its texture into our rosy cheeks,"
But which cheek?
an absolute angel...what a glorious day...
much love
Sweet. What a cutie patootie
Ahhhhhh - so sweet, your beautiful boy.
Very nice. Sweet picture.
Ah, to be a little boy.
Those boys are so lucky to have you! Wow, I wish my dad had played with me. He was curing childhood leukemia instead, but it's taken me a long time to appreciate that. Today, I do appreciate the the character -- in every sense of the word -- that he was in my life and just wish I hadn't been such a crabby appleton about our relationship!
Aw, I want to have an everyday day friend as well. :)
Sweet dream :-)
Thanks

Oh, how cute! I have one almost exactly the same, and just as cuty as years!
brian? this is beautiful!
Very heart warming... how fortunate to have such a sweet forever friend!
It looks like his best friend is right beside him.
The concept of your children being your friends at such an early age is very appealing.;)

As always, Brian my friend, you reach parts other bloggers cannot reach. Happy TT.
ah, how sweet...i remember my little friends...we'd run and play and do silly things all day...then they grow up and it turns into a different kind of friendship. happy TT
Is there anything more beautiful than watching your peacefully sleeping child?
The first two lines are particularly poetic and illustrative.
I don't know what to make of this Brian, it's beautiful yet sad ...I hope all is well
Lovely picture of a boy at peace. Your every day friend - love that expression, Brian.
Beautiful Brian!Love and sunshines and happy thursday!:)

Sweet!

Lovely, your every day friend is your son and your son's every day friend is his favorite stuffed toy. Great picture of a tired little guy after all the pretend motorcycle racing.
Your everyday friend is the CUTEST ever. I hope that you will always be friends.
Sweet, Brian. Nothing like a little buddy, hmm?
Wonderful prose. An adorable child. A thanakful father. *sigh*
beautiful poem and beautiful every day friend!
happy tt friend!
hugs
The sleep of innocence.. when was the last time any of us got that?..
My gosh - it's amazing how peaceful they look when asleep. I need a nap just looking at him.
That, and him (your boy) and the idea of an everyday friend is just precious!
Oh to be that young and peaceful and worryfree...
So very tender, Brian.
I love this...what great imagery here...Your boy looks so precious.
LOL!! over Betsy's comment..I've seen that, too..tee..hee..
Happy TT...
Sweet surrender to sleep when you are well loved.
You're such a great dad. The world could use a couple more Brian Millers in it. :)
He is so very adorable.
Name That Christmas Song
Lovely! Sweet, sweet photo, too.
sorry i a bit remiss today...been checking all of you out and first time on my own page...thanks for the love..he's a great guy...and so is his brother....
One thing that bothered me when my son went to school is that I lost my buddy, the one who went shopping with me and gave me directions when I got lost (he has a keen sense of direction). Kids can make the best friends. Happy TT!
Beautiful boy! They have unlimited energy at that age. It is truly amazing!
Love and prayers.

Gorgeous. There's nothing like a sleeping baby. I still admire mine and they're in their 20's. You'll find them great friends in every stage of their lives Brian.
How perfectly splendid...lovely poem, lovely child...

Oh, this is beautiful!
how lovely is that? You capture that heart connection so well indeed.
A sweet post, Brian. They are lucky and so are you. Happy TT!
Lovely sweet picture and I love this line... "pushing its texture
into our rosey cheeks,"
great imagery.. love it.
Too cool.
Awwwwww! I love it!
How completely adorable.
Your absolute love for your family shines through.
Soooo cute....pure blissful exhaustion.
What a beautiful poem about your relationship with your son. I can picture the two of you on your "make believe motorcycles". I really enjoyed reading your post.
adorable picture... you know in a few years you will be in so much trouble for doing stuff like that. Enjoy it while you can :)
Children have wonderful imaginations :)
I think you would be a very good friend to have, Brian.
He looks like a little angel! Sounds like a great day spent with a wonderful Dad!
What a sweet picture!
Racing that motorcycle - what a darling boy.
What a sweetie pie. :)
Lovely....a peacefully sleeping child is the most wonderful thing!
Sounds like awesome fun. And the little guy must have played hard. He's out cold! My neice is like that. She goes all out and then just collapses.
Love the picture!
sweet sleep
knitting up ravelled sleaves and all that
I'm almost jealous. I'm one of the few single guys actually looking forward to being a father someday. I still love being single, but reading stuff like this makes me feel like I'm missing out.
You melted my heart with this one!
Such a beautiful boy!
Margie :)
