and the little boy is running with his arms
wide open free running full speed or as far and fast
as his legs will take him and his mom
follows closely behind cringing at each crack
and crevice across the sidewalk that may
make him trip or fall and yet she doesn't close in
the space between them the boy keeps running
until the car comes speeding by in front of him
and then he turns and runs back towards his
mothers arms as she runs as fast as she can to enfold him
and that's where he is safe
they keep walking hand and hand together
through down the path
