You’re cutting up watermelon
with the big knife I’m not supposed to touch.
And later on, we’re tying shoes.
I’m feeling pretty good about it now.
Someday.
I don’t know.
It’s just like you said:
Do what you can while you can.
Swimming laps, I’m keeping up.
But I can’t hold my breath as long as you yet.
And drying off on the porch,
watching Price is Right and eating snacks.
Grandma makes tomato sauce.
My mum comes to pick me up.
I show her I can tie my shoes.
She says Whoa baby, look at you!
