She Peered at Them All

She peered at them all, 
through the glass. 
the sun shines bright 
on sweet foreheads

Hands in the dirt, 
toes in too.
a shovel digging,
brains a thinking. 

On goes the water, 
out comes the hose. 
the cool droplets turn
expressions into giggles 

She wipes her hands
pours herself iced tea
a moment of peace
her heart swells times three.
