Hiking Buddy

I'll hike with her
with those sparkly eyes and long blonde hair,
that smile that will melt away the frustrations of any
first grader.
I'd hike with her in a minute, even though I know
she can leave me in the dust if she wants,
she won't,
she'll dilly dally along as if it were really her pace,
even though she told me she wants to burn
more calories so she can eat a bigger
serving of ice cream.
I did hike with her up to a beautiful lake,
surrounded by high snowy peaks,
we rushed back to town to
get two extra large
ice cream
cones.
