I couldn't see her
as her small frame moved
so quickly past mine.
Her peals of laughter
were the only indication
that she had bested me.
Stubby legs fought
their natural tendencies
to finally conquer
what she thought was unconquerable.
As I turned around
her small hands enveloped
dark bark
and dragons with red tongues
threatened to take away
the short victory.
