In Your Poetic Mind

Alacia Grace

     


~~**~~

She comes to me
taps my shoulder    with soft fingers


"mommy I can't sleep"
"why?"
"I don't know"



I pick her up;  gently lay her back down
caress her forehead until eyes close

my eyes swell with tears
and I am reminded

there is beauty in the world


I had a dream last night
you came to me on silver wings of light
I flew away with you in painted sky
Was it real
Is it what you see,touch or feel

No question about it...nothing more special
than the warmth and security of a loving
parent who spends that special moment in
comfort....

Thanx Lauren,  reminds me of a few years
ago...

Oh yes, there is beauty in this world and it comes in the smallest packages in little moments...and there she is!  She's beautiful!  My little girl (four years old) will appreciate your words and the picture of your little girl, so I am saving this one for her return from her dad's house.

A lovely write!
