Into My World

I want to see you pull up
just as the sun has fallen behind the hill.
In that surreal moment that joins day to night.

I sit barefoot on the porch, a mom, 
reveling in the peace of day’s end and the closeness
	it brings.

You come to me. 
Your walk is a sigh, stepping yet floating, accompanied
by an innocent smile and radiant eyes belonging
only to me. Born because of me.

You come to share my step, our step. A gesture so simple, so full of magic.

There we sit, talking and laughing, as sounds of the neighborhood surround. 
	Sounds of my home. You are glad to know them.
