love is here
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
