reading

studies each page with intention,
a careful examination
and points to the letters,
calling them all E,
cries out: cute babies!
tickles
blows kisses
and names each one;
she counts the cars
laughs at jokes that
we don't see,
sees things the colour
of blue,
tells about flowers
and loves
stars.
turns each page carefully,
nods and
hmmmmms
as the story unfolds;
and at the end,
she will cry, please --
again!
