The work of a child

The work of a child
Leaves fall in the reflection of my glasses
Swaying in silence
Matching the trees in the window
What is the work of a child?
A child is a pillow
A companion for rest
A child sleeps
And is carried in from the car
A child stares out the window
During long drives
Watching the grass fall and rise
As you pass the hillside
A child provides the joy necessary
To appreciate the chicken wings
At the restaurant
A child makes ordinary things
Into little worlds, all their own
A child speaks
When things do not make sense
A child cries
When scraped by hardness
A child is lifted
When they cannot reach
A child loves
Though they cannot see
