what a day...

what a day
today was
for you and i
as you said hi to my parents before heading out
i took you through new routes, grabbed your grub
where i felt such love even then
and again, as my mother took a liking to you
i knew, as she recalled with me , your
allure, openness
then you, hoping to make that connection so badly
but sadly, could not stay longer
you stayed strong, with a trip to the dreaded mall
was not bad after all with our purchases and quick exit
leading us to the next trip, a beautiful walk
we talked and laughed and became one
with the earth, the sun greeting us in every turn
a lesson for us learned in every movement
i treasured every moment...
