Kids come… and they go

And come back

They check in… and check out

And check in again

They visit… and leave

And then return

They smile, they ask, they share, they talk

And sometimes silently seek closeness

Seek space to explore

Within the range you provide

They experiment with the new

Seeking the familiar

Is it love?

Is it fear?

Is it safety?

Is it chaos?

Over, and over, and over again
