Sticks

Spent this day observing my kids
Skidding over frozen water.
I prodded the ice with a stick
I found, to ensure it wouldn't crack.

Spent today enjoying this thing
I have, knowing this will end,
Planting trees, watching everything
While the clock counts down.

Spent tonight rewinding myself
Searching for seconds in my mind
When I tossed time like coins, 
Throwing sticks into a stream.
