Diana Darby ** "I V" ** Intravenous

Jump For The Moon

We are on a new adventure,
you and I.
There will be hills to climb
and rivers to cross
and car trips and backpacks and socks.
We will sneak into hotel rooms
and restaurants
and wheel down grocery stores aisles
when no one is looking.
We will explore parks and beaches
and castles.
I will show you snakes and toads and turtles
and butterflies
and you will unearth creatures I never knew existed.
We will be best friends,
you and I,
fighting over balls and toys and sticks.
I will teach you right from wrong
and you will teach me patience.
You will teach me how to jump for the moon
and I will learn to catch it.
