Believe in something

A poem inspired by my little cousin that I love with all my heart.

His baby like whines echo in this room

His snoring is sweet rhythm to my ears

It’s a nostalgic symphony of simplicity of childhood

Dreaming away with imagination running wild

No nightmares to oppress over nor the slightest clue of evil

So pure , so right, and lovely

I wish he could stay this little

The way he shows his love is mature 

wise for a young fella -  who loves his comics

Telling me to worry no more

I will kill the bugs so they don’t hurt you

Hurt is all I have felt

All I feel with the stress and drama 

Maturity is pain, and his wisdom is brilliance

The way he consoles in me about his little child like worries

 I am impressed by his sincerity

Sincerity that people lose once they’re broken, or bruised

 Does he know that growing up means

You must let go of character? 

You must let go of desires? 

Does he know selfish is the game?

 and pride is the game keeper? 

Oh, this game is played like a violin 

Mesmerizing us in the darkest of hours

If only the sandman had a time machine 

  in the grains of sand he ignites us with

Or has the sandman lost his way to our pillow side?

Because we've lost our ways 

Or Maybe all the little wonders we used to believe in 

  

Are for the innocent - locked up safe and sound 

but who has time for sleep ?

When the worries keep you up crying to the moon

Yet sleep is what we need to wake up 

 and pack his lunch box for another day 

A day that will be filled with Dragons or Aliens 

Maybe even Super Heroes too 

Oh, these days  will be remembered as his best days 

So I tell myself . . . close your eyes he needs you to believe in something - him

Simply put, more brilliance from this writer:
"Maturity is pain, and his wisdom is brilliance" sounds like it came from somewhere in the depths of my subconscious, an older guy...Older...Guy...True, so true that women mature sooner in life.

Love how and that you step out and forth, beyond yourself.

Thanks again.......and I'll be back!

This is truly nice feedback, thank you so much!

Yes, I am definitely trying to be more out there, and push myself!

I hear life starts at the end of your comfort zone or something like that, and I have believe its important to indulge in feelings from another's point of view.

P.S sorry for the late reply internet has been down!

This is amazingly sweet. Very wise stuff too.

[LoveAlwaysJB]

He's such a sweet child, but his hint of wisdom at 6 years old shocks me all the time!

[soliloquy]

I imagine it does. Children are generally much wiser that they are given credit for. Just because life is new and challenging for them doesn't mean that they don't possess wisdom and intelligence.

You sound like a great friend to him!

[LoveAlwaysJB]

I couldn't have said that better myself. Their imagination is quite fascinating how they see things we don't, and I guess in a way we become blind to how challenges should be approached.

Yes. he's a great little listener of mine!

[soliloquy]

So he's a good friend too? That's awesome.

[LoveAlwaysJB]

Yes, I learn new things about Batman everyday!

[soliloquy]

Do you guys live together? I never really knew any of my cousins. I feel
Like I missed out.

[LoveAlwaysJB]

He actually lives in London, but he stays here while his parents are off on business trips!

[soliloquy]

Does he go back to school in the fall?

[LoveAlwaysJB]

Yes, he leaves tomorrow actually, and he just had a birthday on the 3rd :)
