                          | Picnic |  
                          | We had a picnic yesterday. It was nothing fancy or grand. We couldn't 'afford' it anyway.
 Just a few loaves of bread, transformed into quite a variety of sandwiches.
 Just a few mats, a bottle of pop, a book or two
 & we had a great time.
 
 Not that we played together,
 Not that we built sand castles together,
 although i'm sure yunger' un would have loved our input.
 But it was the fact that we took the time
 Determined to have this family time
 not to be distracted by the box nor phone.
 even though we read, spoke little
 
 yet.....
 
 you dun need words
 to tell
 your loved ones
 that they are important
 
 it's good to tell,
 but there are times
 when silence
 speaks volumes
 when small actions
 show great significance
 
 of what your loved ones mean to you
 at least
 that's what i'd like to believe
 
 Thanks girls..
 totally enjoyed the picnic
 the rain, the ants even
 mostly
 totally enjoyed being with you
 connected to you
 we must treasure the memories
 and do it more often.....
 
 love you both
