Running with Grandpa – v2

Maybe two and a half,
certainly, no more than that,
running in the yard with grandpa,
going from flower to flower…
 
The mountain laurel,
giant rhododendron,
ground cover more at her height,
all of them sending her reeling,
in giggles of delight…
 
Drinking in the scents,
picking them in her imagination,
running from plant to plant,
too much for grandpa on the hot day,
happy to let her run by herself…
