Hi

The child is three
They look up at
Me and say hi
So I say hi
They say
Hi again
As this
Is the
Limit of
Their ability
To converse yet
They seek the back
And forth words they’ve
Seen others enjoy and
To capture the adult
Cadence of speech
So sincere eager
To do as they
See or hear
A mind in
Motion.
They will
Have this same
Conversation again
In two decades
When they
Fall in
Love.
