Sitting cross-legged leaning back the warmth of the day divine Tickling scratches of freshly mown grass - never a blanket as softly made as this Allergies notwithstanding Just over yon a race between my brown-haired child - and a particularly feisty cloud of dust She, on her trike …the weight of the world precariously balanced on three wheels flying at a toddler’s breakneck speed She was winning… I bear witness to this priceless treasure of Love, in its truest – purest form A smile never felt as good Then ~ In a whirling flutter of flying grass clippings and half-spent flower petals flops Curiosity encased in the form of a six year-old girl This grown-up smile willingly concedes victory to the super nova beaming at my side Rays of sunlight spun in gentle curls rest upon sweaty child brow And she says: “Mom?” “Hmm?” “Why does time fly?” “That, dear…is the only way it could ever keep up with you.” |
