Memories -- 1948

So hard to believe

I was only six -- on

my way to Lake Osisko  

around the corner

from our apartment.

I sensed daddy

following -- with fear

along for the ride.

Legs began running

to Otter & Beaver

planes. Listen to those

engines hum as

a voice rang strong:

Told you to stay home

not safe here -- as

propellers roared

across a slide of water

showering father & son

as they hugged.
