Yesterday I wrote about our weekend at our cabin. My son (The Path of Grace) left a comment about missing the old school bus benches that used to ring the fire pit. Couldn’t resist pulling this picture out of my favorites album. 😀

Bran & friend Tim, 1982

Benches

Old school bus benches
extracted, thrown out for trash;
stuff of memories.

1982

I can still see them sitting
there by the fire,
covered in dirt
from a hard day’s digging,
making secret plans
only four-year-olds
can concoct.

A cabin in the forest
on old bus seats
by a hot campfire
is the perfect place
to ripen young children’s
budding imaginations.
