Sock

I’m watching on the monitor
As Hadley* keeps amused
Playing with her pulled-off sock
(An item often she’s refused).

Awakened from her nap, she seems
Relaxed and quite content
(Although I don’t know how that time
So quickly came and went).

I wonder what she’s thinking
As that sock gets gently tossed
But I envy her the innocence
We older folk have lost.
