Bright, vibrant colors
Swirling and encircling
Seeing Mommy Through to the end
Squeals of delight
Announces 
There is no better place 
To be than
Through the tunnel. 
Except, 
Sometimes, 
It’s better to stop
and tease and wait.
Mom smiles,
Doubt vanishes.
Crawling slows to a sit
Safe within 
Happy to stay.
