NEW WORD

 

Awww!

Isn’t it sweet

when a child like mind

learns a new word

 

sets out;

determined;

proud;

check thrust out

strutting like a rooster

 

and like a toddler

wobbling to walk

they show off their new word

 

“Mommy! Mommy!

I learned a new word.”

 

The ‘nein’ across the eyes

is my reward.
