Gift
She sees
For me
All the sticks
I missed
All the stones
I didn’t throw
She hears
For me
The dog
In the distance
The airplane
Headed for the moon
She feels
For me
The stranger
We drove past
Walking nowhere
The stray
Walking the same way
She runs
For me
Without fear
Or hesitation
Straight for
The puddle
Both feet in
She holds
For me
What I let go
The magic moment
Here and now
The simple
Shrug
That says,
“Forget about it …”
“Let’s just play”
She is
For me
Heaven here
The gift of
Love
That speaks
To me
Without words
