Every morning, when he first opens his eyes
He looks around in wonder
Perhaps amazement of another day
Before a notion of recall is formed
He first turns to mom to curl in her breast
Once full he returns to his back, observing the ceiling
Then he turns right and sees dad
Without fail, each, every time
This is the face
A beaming glow in the already radiant sunrise
A smile so huge it seems his face will break
I don’t need anything but this moment each day
Yet he continues to do it throughout the day
There are screams, cries, and battles of diapers
But there is always love
There is always knowing who I am, who Sam is
He does not know much, but he knows love and us
That’s all we want

Caribou
What is home? An innocuous, cliched beginning. Yet, over the last year the definition has changed immensely. Home became everything. Workplace, entertainment center, school, family gathering place, birthing place, fitness center, therapy office, sick bed, and so much more.

I AM
This is not who I thought I would be. Before my family was captured and forced into slavery, I had aspirations of becoming a wealthy business owner or possibly a scholar and philosopher. Becoming a warrior was the furthest thing from my mind. Unfortunately, our Roman conquerors had other plans.
