Let’s read a book…

 

 

Entreaties

 

O, come, lovely child,

tell me your words, what you see,

what you hear, and feel.

 

O, stay, rampant child,

be still, give me your sweet smile.

I give mine to you.

What wouldn’t you give for a few more minutes

of marvelous exploration with that magnificent child?

Can you imagine that you would ever say “No” when she says “Read it again!”?

When she decides to tell you again about the spider that she saw yesterday,

do you think for even a moment that it will be boring?
