September 8, 1999

To my little bundle of sunlight, on a special day in the fall.

my little yahoo girl

riding up and down on a pedal

oscillating on the bottom of its round

one foot her whole exultant frame

connecting to this thing unmoving

my little girl in her all-overs

pony tail bobbing behind her smile

playing in the world

her Father made for her

simply wanting time

before her dad
