Block

Box shiny and splashed with contrasting colours, so inviting,

treasured, unique activity with my darling girl, so delighting.

Misaligned sticker; my welcome challenge to tenderly resolve,

total immersion; trials and tribulations, fade and dissolve. 

Wonder and awe flowing; beholden to her captivation,

mediated by moulded plastic blocks; infinite imagination. 

Distinct crinkle of plastic torn, precedes new friend discovery,

animated and passionate session complete; brief recovery.

Eras and interests captured in build, and image for posterity,

in this revered collaboration, meaning given true clarity.

Every shape formed propels nearer to last; creativity relished,

when sunset lingers and past beckons; moments cherished.

Time gladly embraced; gifting return in present, and uncertain future.
