The Support of a Floor

Only for you, I will be the floor

you stride along, unmoving and concrete,

steadying you on your feet, so you can see

the world with my support.

The damp grass you run

through as you play in sprinklers,

colors painting hot asphalt like a painting as

you create a storybook world with chalk.

Each and every rough and smooth surface

that wears out the soles of your shoes

is my way of providing you support.
