As they play
in the ash-white light of noon
I hear that I am part of their story;
a character
in their chatter
amid light footfalls on earth
And later I am forgotten
in the chase and care of climbing
and when overcome
they reach up
and rest
head on my shoulder
Soon, I can just
About,
Move,
As they cling
And bob
To the motion
Of their walking ship
