sunshine on closed eyes
Poetry Month Prompt #2
your tiny fingers and tiny toes
will soon become as big as mine
the way you laugh and scrunch your nose
will one day be an unimpressed sigh
---
your love for coloring becomes a passion for art
your fairytale stories give way to new fears
someday, someone will break your heart
and it won't be so easy to dry your tears
---
you'll no longer want to hold my hand
or curl up with me on the couch before bed
dreams of freedom and newfound visions
of a life after this one will soon fill your head
---
but please take your time and enjoy every moment
cherish the good ones and grow from the bad
just remember the feeling of sunshine on closed eyes
and all of the best days that we ever had.
