Stay
We love it when they stay!
and confide
and tell us many words.
We love to hear them laughing
outside
in the yard
and hear their feet
rushing
1 2 3 up the steps
and the screen door
slamming
and their words
fizzing
and flying high through the air.
We love it when they lean
against the door
and stay.
If they ask
a quiet question
or say
a quiet word
we watch
each word as it floats
like a tiny piece of diamond dust
from them
to us.
We hold out our hand
not to catch it
but to flutter
the air
just a little
till it comes a bit closer.
We love it when they sit down next to us
and lean their head
and we just sit
and hear each other breathe.
We love it when they stay!
