hallmark card

I like that she prays.
that she's
kind,
compassionate.
I like how she bakes,
and brings
me some.
I like the way,
she laughs, the way,
she sighs
and rolls her eyes
at what I say.
I like
the way she kisses me
hello,
or goodbye,
sending me on my way.
I like nearly everything
about her,
everything, but
showing up so
late in life.
