Love as Though
My 8-year-old
Has memorized a poem
From a greeting card.
She recites it
From the back seat of the car:
Dance as though no one is watching,
Sing as though no can hear,
Love as though you’ve never been hurt,
Live as though heaven is on earth.
I sing loudly
And dance around in my seat.
She says: “Mom, people are watching!”
Then grins, real big.
When she gets to:
Love as though you’ve never been hurt
I say: “I’m trying,”
And my baby girl says:
“I know, it’s hard . . .”
