I Watched You Grow

I watched you grow

so fast

so fast

And wondered

how I could stop time

Because I love you

too much

too much

To let you blossom

bigger than my arms

But you are

my sun

my sun

In the darkest of days

And you make me happy

all the seconds of every day.

Happy Birthday My Little One

Bookworm

My life is a book
A chapter for each significant time
The cover is a tad bit worn
But my story’s worth more than a dime

I devour every page
And I savour every line
I go through chapters slowly
Knowing it’s all mine

Sometimes I lose a page or two
I can’t remember the past
And I try not to skip ahead
To try and make my book last

There is an end, I know
Getting closer by the minute
So I love every chapter
While I’m still livin’ in it!

Bright / Dark

Standing on the
edge of sorrow
looking to tomorrow

Should I just jump
and fly a little
before the end comes near?

The mist is thick
The way unclear
All alone with my fears

The horizon
spread out beneath
my every hope and dream

Where is the light –
that bright beacon –
to pierce a soul so dark?

Should I just jump
and fly a little
before the end comes near?
