I Keep Falling in Love with Strangers (Part 3)
little sprite, maybe 4
waiting to board a big, white airplane
she’s the perfection of tiny moments
nut-rounded forehead
polka dot pants
messy dark curls in a lopsided bun
ma-ma
ma-ma
ma-ma!
a snack bag is offered
little one giggles
offfers a chip to big brother
ma-ma
ma-ma
ma-ma!
a drink is proffered
mother holds bright orange soda
little one sips
burps
sips
smiles
ma-ma
ma-ma
ma-ma!
tank you

This is such a sweet poem. The scene is simple but rich. I can hear all the giggles and speaking throughout. Thank you for sharing this!
Sweetness.
