Freckles

Sophia is at 5th grade camp
for one night.

It's crazy how
one night away
can make a mom so sentimental.

I love you my
sweet sweet Sophia.
I hope no one ever
hurts you.
Ever.


One in four
has blue eyes.
One in four
has polka-dots.
Brought on
by the sun.
One in four
so fine.

One in four
so easy-going.
One in four
so patient.
One in four
so peaceful.
Two of four
in line.

One in four
so tender.
One in four
so sweet.
One in four
so witty.
One in four
so kind.

One in four
of my girls.
One in four
so quiet.
One in four
all dad.
One in four
so mine.


But perhaps
my favorite
one in four
are those
freckles
on your nose.
So unique.
So special.

Just like
one in four.
