I see someone
playing with a stick
that was used for roasting marshmallows
someone who loves throwing things
over the gate off the deck
who always wants to play outside and
never wants to sit and play indoors
someone who will open and close doors
who will throw rocks
into puddles or pools
who will step and stomp in puddles
I watched someone
fall down and get back up
who will keep trying to get something
that they want but knows they cannot have
who will climb on things they shouldn't
and get into things that are not theirs
someone who loves to get *****
and doesn't care
who will get so close, lose it
but continue anyways
I saw and watched someone
who will talk and tell their
stories in many or few words
Wrote this about my little cousin some years back while I was babysitting her and her two brothers
