It's
fresh cut grass
bright sunlight
outdoor mud meals made in green sand turtles and stirred with sticks
It's
baseballs to the face
knees scraped from falling onto gravel
arms scratched from thorny bushes
It's
videogames played together
sleepovers in each others' rooms
blanket fortresses
It's
braiding hair
roller sets
relaxers
It's
Field trips to the farm
colored pencils
library programs
It's
volleyball
soccer
karate tournaments
It's
baking cookies
late nights
apple cider toasts
It's
the costume trunk
outdoor adventures
dance parties
It's
fear
separation
sadness
It's
changes
moving
new places, people, and things
It's
surprises
growth
progress
It’s
my childhood.
