knocking at the front door

waiting to be let in 

she’s got a bundle of 

wildflowers from her 

backyard– she is 

beautiful 

like nothing you have

ever seen 

maybe because you 

met her later in life

she didn’t start showing 

up consistently 

until recently 

i wished on a star 

for her to visit 

just one more time

but here she is,

asking to move in 

to the upstairs bedroom
