Life’s Little Misdirections 🥀🦋

No Higher Please

rung by rung I watch you climb higher,
braver than one anchored to cement.
you work upon the roof, tall like trees,
eye to eye with the chimney; while I see:
white drain pipe, garden implements,
patio furniture and two strong arms
that would catch you if you should fall.
