When

When you play so hard
And your child's world
Mesmerizes you
You blow bubbles in your sleep
And catch fireflies
Having the best of
Playmates
When your child becomes
Your best friend
And picnic buddy
Even knowing better than you
How to set up the tent
And keep a fire going
Finding the perfect stick to roast the
Marshmalows, squishing chocolate between graham crackers in sticky celebrations
Then
you wait for your pal
To return from
Growing up
