Little legs
and eyes lit up
an energy that can’t be contained
Did you see this?
There’s grass!
The sky! The raindrops,
a patch of mud and
the smell of someone else
like me!
I obsess,
I do my best
to teach you all the shoulds I know
and still, all you see
is space to run;
places to pour your boundless joy
so back at our front door,
I’m the one
who’s learnt my lesson
