My son runs,
red lights in his shoes
blink with every step,
locks of blonde hair bounce,
arms stretched out wide,
he is an airplane.
Daddy scoops him up
and they wave.
In that moment I realize,
my heart has arms and legs.

I am doing good thanks. I have been editing my mother's novel. She has a publisher who is interested in publishing it.

I think I would dropped 'he is' off this line:
~~he is an airplane.~~
But other than that. I think this is a good piece.

Very sweet.
