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 ***** 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
