The Sidewalk
The sidewalk joins me
as I make my walk home.
It keeps me company
with its shadows
so I am never alone.
Even those shadows
are familiar to me
since I see them
each time I return
home after school.
We play games.
"X" marks the start
of the final stretch
and I know someone
is waiting for me.

is waiting for me.

Thank you for your wonderful and generous comments. I'm glad you found a piece of home in this one.
