Love is
Waking up to:
“hi mommy, hi daddy”
The sweetest tune to my ears
Ever since music itself has drifted away
The way she turns her head to look at us with
Admiration
I want to be her star
I want to shine so bright that all else is hidden in the shadows
I want to take away every bruised knees
And tear filled eyes as I comb out her hair
Her antennas to the universe
But then I remember
We should all go through our struggles
Love is
Taking the time to listen
Provide gentle hugs mixed with rough and tumble
My little explorer
Curious about the arts
Ready to dance at any drop of music
Her beat is everything, all her own
I want to be her star
I want to shine so bright that all else is hidden in the shadows
I want to take away every bruised knees
And tear filled eyes as I comb out her hair
Her antennas to the universe
But then I remember
We should all go through our struggles
Love is
Understanding that in order to grow
We have to go through challenges
If that means to let her fall and get bruised knees
I’ll be there for her when she gets back up
Wipe away those tears and hold her close
Whispering
“I am proud of you”
“I am proud of you”
“I am proud of you”
