because we know

while i was so busy
bruising my fingers
pretending to help
(and actually believing I was)
I forgot
that

just a child,

and we can.

just laugh together.

just cry.

and we can.

just Stop.

with all the
trying
      So Hard.

and start
smiling
      H a r d e r

because,

we know

The Way
in which
     The bless-
