I snap the picture, she strikes a pose.
Grown.
We walk farther, a new vista, a new shot.
Kind.
Trees, creeks, snow and fog. Stand and smile.
Smart.
Adjust hat, climb to a height, on one leg.
She’s got it.
Posted sign, missing hiker, tragedy loss.
Her heart aches.
Pride.
Joy.
Admiration.
Love.
I have them all
She will take on the world.
I get to watch.
We take a picture.
