EVERYDAY

Everyday
your face finds a way
to join my thoughts
when they go out to play
I am happy to see you
and it is more than okay
your smile lights a fire
when the coals go away
I picture you happy
I picture you safe
I remember your eyes
I remember your grace
sad not to hug you
and laugh and talk
sad not to hold you
and talk and walk
Glad you are happy
and growing inside
glad to have loved you
with eyes open wide
