Sometimes precious moments require
chasing down.
You must pull them into your lap
and plant raspberries,
tickle toddler tummy with funny fingers,
and sing a silly song
about a peek-a-boo boy.
Sometimes precious moments don’t
wriggle away.
They stay to laugh and play,
and lift their chin to let raspberries in.
They wiggle and squirm
hug, slip down and turn.
They run off to dance and spin
and run right back again
to feel buzzy lips
and tickly fingertips
and hear that silly song.
Sometimes precious moments fill
your heart.
They lock up tight inside your head
attached to a smile.
You hold on to that because
you only get to see
your peek-a-boo boy
once in a while.
Sometimes that’s what makes
those moments so precious.
