My wife drops him off early
once a month for student council.
As a third grader, it's his first year
being actively involved.
There is a bit of importance
about him now. He walks taller.
Even so, as my wife describes it,
when he arrives at school
and enters the near empty hall
he looks very small.
I can see him there
4 foot something and proud,
as the eastern horizon
turns itself to a brilliant blue,
he walks headlong
into the day's responsibilities.
