(by Daniel R. Jones)
There’s a trick I play on my children
when I need a little reassurance.
I pull them close.
I whisper in their ear:
“Do you want to hear a secret?”
They acquiesce.
Every child wants a secret.
I say “I love you.”
They sigh, maybe roll their eyes.
And it brings me such solace when they say it:
“That isn’t a secret.”
