so much lifting

life is a lot of lifting
and setting
things down.
children and groceries.
boxes and bags.
weights.
carrying a loved one
across the threshold.
a pen onto a paper.
a drink,
a fork.
a book.
we raise what we need
into the air
until we're done with it,
or her
or him.
whatever the case may be,
then move on.
