He Runs to Me

He runs
Knowing I will
Catch him
Big, big love
Big, big hug

He runs
To me
With questions
1,000 tops his list
And we're still counting

He runs
Feet pounding
Heart bubbling over
You know I act surprised
As he comes out of his
Favorite hiding place

He runs
When I want him to
Simply walk
A constant chatter
Of his lovely talk
Pointing out the things
My tired eyes
Would otherwise
Browse over

He runs
To my waiting arms
Uncapping all his
Childish charms
Kissing my shoulder
Turning a beating heart over
And over
Making it beat
One more time
For him
