This is Zoe
thinking seven year old thoughts…
with legs which are longer than six
and can climb that old ladder of sticks
and fingers much faster than five
which can tenderly twist a thin chive
a patience greater than four
to fill two buckets and more
and a lot more pockets than three
holding feathers and wings from a bee
still smiling the smile of the two
she listens for things that are new
with a heart that is deeper than one
to us, she comes second to none.
