Just Her

Just Her

She comes with no accoutrements,
no houses, bank accounts,
no fancy dresses or promises.
You can catch her passing smile,
travel alongside her on the same
dusty roads, carrying your own
backpack as she carries her own
small bag of treasures to pass
down to her children and children's
children, small treasures of the heart.
She will share her words that
run like rivers, an embrace,
share a good belly laugh.
She comes with no accoutrements,
love her and travel with her
if you choose, ask nothing else
in return.
