She wakes up laughing
ready to go anywhere
until she mood swings
Her eyes like thunder
everything disappoints her
for just ten seconds
Then, happy! happy!
"Where are we going today?"
"Who's coming over?"
Her fanciest moves
from dance class propel her past
and back, arm outstretched
She squeals with her joy
She proclaims heartfelt wonder
the world is all hers
Eats all her dinner
if I give her a good treat
like chocolate pudding
Her legs are so bruised
She needs many Mom kisses
To make owies heal
I tuck her in bed
"mom you're coming back to me
and bringing water"
