To the One

They grow up so fast...

To the one who ate what was put in front of him

And played solitaire for hours at Grandmas house

Wondering if fathers were a painted figment

Imagination run rampant with the need for touch

 

To the one who hop scotched delicately

Drawing pictures of hearts and families unbroken

Finding the path with small hands and no compass

Navigating shark infested waters with floaties and a stick

 

To the one who spat in conventions mouth

Writing rulebooks inked in common sense and not dogma

Walking lines that broke left to lifes bounties

Using the muddy shoes to plant grapes for wine

 

Finding self is a task best left to the fates, they'll ring you

Flexing muscles of the heart and soul intuitively

Provides a verdict that rings with freedom and light

Blissfully aware that neither place or time are the hammer's blow

I only have one, but I run a small daycare and find that they do grow up too fast. Such a poignant piece and beautifully expressed!

Seems so primal that we carry them as infants swaddling and in the end they'll carrying us. Lots to ponder here my friend.....memories

Thanks Q....I am missing my older ones already, and trying to enjoy my youngest while I can.
