This girl of mine...
loves baths at midday and pyjamas mid afternoon
has been kissed across her nose and cheeks by the sun, just like her mama
tap dances in the kitchen to folk music
dreams of flying just like a bird
informs me that watching me take photos is like waiting for the world to spin
is patient with me
sings soft lullabies to her feathered friends
gets as "hungry as wolves"
is enraptured by the sea
has lost loved ones
plays guitar like a southpaw
is in love with the Muppets
finds special rocks whenever we walk, holds them to her heart and tells me they fill her with Earth energy
would be lost without books
holds her upsets and fears very close
is a teacher in more ways than she will ever know
is so loved
I watch her when she sleeps and feel so full
