A Little Child Lacing Her Shoes
For Sarah, of course
She is as proud, as she
can be, and I -
I too am proud, watching
her twist her tongue
In thought – the rabbit
pops into its hole
To emerge on the other
side – hello!
She is as proud as she can
be, but I
Am a little bit sad as she
stands up now
Dancing in place to make
the heel-lights twink
Then giggling, “Catch me,
Daddy!” as she runs away
And I play-chase, knowing
that all too soon
There won’t be little
lights for me to follow
