At the Park

most afternoons are spent at the park,
running around
and playing in the sand.
zeina loves her freedom to explore.

at the park the fun never stops,
zeina is busy:
digging in the sand,
swinging and sliding,
hiding and seeking
and dancing on the basketball court.

we eat snacks at the picnic table.
outside eating creates big smiles
and lots of happiness.

where is the time going?
zeina is growing and growing
and turning into a big girl.
with opinions.

what is a mama to do?
