Proud of the Picture

School pictures arrived.

Abby, loving her teacher, asked for a photo.

Today in her cubby, a special envelope.

She opened it with pride, not letting it go. The gift she’d requested.

We’d hang it on the refrigerator, I said, where the other prize pictures are presented.

Disagreeing, she immediately responded with a desire to decorate her door.

Art added. Now posted.
