Reaching Out

A baby in a stroller pointed,

Giggling, at me.

I waved and then he laughed some more

And grinned delightedly.

 

I also had the sweetest kisses

Blown my way from far.

My brother’s year-old grandson

Raised the FaceTime cuteness bar.

 

The urge to thus communicate

Begins when very young,

With smiles the currency employed,

Since words are yet unsung.

 

As children grow and fear kicks in,

That need to reach out slows,

Thus limiting connections

Only to the ones each knows.
