Running

Here’s a piece by my bloggish buddy, Squid. Oh, that all of God’s children were so resilient as this never-say-die little toddler!! If you haven’t met Squid, I highly recommend her to you!

Running

I watched you cry today.

Your little feet were carrying you as fast as they could, when,

BAM!

Forehead, meet wall.

The waterworks came with a loud scream.

Mommy was back on duty, and sister-recreation time was over…

Or so I thought.

Less than a minute later, you’re back to

Running.

With tears in your eyes

But a smile on your face,

We resumed the game as if nothing had ever happened.

But when we took a break,

The sniffles returned, and you crawled into my lap, looking for security.

A few moments of R&R…

And we’re back!

To running.

-Squid

Tends toward TMI, so here's the short list: guitar and banjo (both of which have been much neglected as of late), bicycling (ibid), dogs, very black tea, and contemplating and commenting on deep philosophical thoughts about which I have had no academic or professional training. Oh, also reading, writing, but I shy away from arithmetic. View all posts by dawnlizjones
