Only I hear her first words.
"Hi" and "Bye" are oft-heard now in public,
sing-song spoken to strangers at the store;
and again and again to Daddy
as we sit home in our living roo
but it's only me who knows the secrets she says up close.
Is it my job to remember, to record for her?
Would they be lost otherwise -
pointing to eyes and saying "eyes"
"no" for nose and other repetitive phrases
that may mean see the birds or see the baby or
something else only you know.
only us in this world, for now.
