You do this everyday
play in the innocence
of cereal and smiles
I lean back and watch you
hands together
then apart
making beautiful art
of imperfect circles and
awkward squares
Screeches of delight
bring me out of my own thoughts
and I stare lovingly
Through all of those
first sounds and babble
Slowly, I begin to see
When you happily shake
that red polka dot rattle
and knowingly look up
with bubbling excitement
proudly grinning
your emerging two teeth
You are having a conversation
with God...
And sharing it with me
