Everyday

He rode his bike

tie and slacks

Umbrella shielding himself from the rain

Everyday.

 

He holds a sign and does pushups, every now and then

Walks with head held high and determination in his step

Everyday.

 

He shows up

His smile and him-

Always has something to say

Something memorable,

Everyday.

 

He waves to them all, makes sure that they see him

Makes sure they know

that someone-

sees them

Everyday.

 

He takes her trashcan in-

On those days

Even when he knows she’s home, even when he knows he’s home

Everyday.

 

She takes him with her, wherever she goes

(Because mom can’t, she must work).

And he’s little and she’s old, but there’s magic, wherever she goes-

Everyday.

Magic, wherever they go-

Wherever they all go.
