#VerseLove Day 6, Cherita
Daniel
you are in the backyard charging about unsteadily on your pudgy toddler feet
as I bustle about in the kitchen preparing dinner
I suddenly stop, my mommy-sense telling me it is too hushed outside
rushing through the patio door, sprinting through the gate left ajar
I discover you cruising up the street, waddling as fast as you can
To join your big brother and his big-kid friends
Reminds me of the time we found our youngest daughter heading out the lane with a “ditty” bag on her shoulder running away, our proto-hobo. Understandably, she has been our greatest nomad.
Yes, isn’t it fascinating how kids’ characters start revealing themselves at very young ages?!
