In my pocket I tuck treasures.

Here is a hike.

My hungry belly. A hurt.

Here is my mama.

Here is the ocean.

A wish. Some sunshine.

Here is a secret.

Here is a tree. A mystery!

My friend.

Something quiet.

Here is home. Here is a poem. A project.

Here is a promise.

Here is a wonder. A worry.

A wow!

Here is the world.

And here is me.

In my pocket I’ll keep this moment to show you.

Because that’s what pockets are for.
