Your eyes are sparkling
like your mama’s diamond ring,
one hand wrapped ’round my finger
and one hand in the air.
A giggle bubbles up
like an overflowing cup.
Smile like a work of art
makes for mama’s liquid heart.
A Library Book
I thought the book was good,
but she thought it was tearable.
She liked one page a lot.
I hope the fine is bearable.
Nine Months
You’ve been outside as much as in.
That’s quite the milestone.
In eighteen total months of life,
just look how much you’ve grown!
Feet
My right foot is quite comfortable.
It wears a pink-striped sock.
My left foot, though, is bare and cold,
like a river rock.
I have two seasons sitting here,
two textures when I walk.
Friends
Friends will call and help you know
that rain will fall and grass will show
and spring will come and poems will flow.
Who Knew?
Who knew it was going to be so hard?
Who knew life wasn’t easy or fair?
Who knew? And who was gonna care?
Who knew?
You knew.
And you were there.
Sunshine Blues
I need a little bit of sunshine in my life.
I don’t need parties. I don’t need spice.
I just gotta have some vitamin D synthesized.
Oh, I need some sunshine in my life.
