Little Big Person

I am unable to sleep, she holds me In the palm of her hands. No matter what, she greets me Through the day. Her face my sun, the moon, The stars & everything in between. If I go to sleep, she wakes me right up. Whether verbal or the slightest notion, She knows when I am awake. Confirming the beat of my heart. Whether she’s close or far away, She still appears a giant in my eyes. & I snug in her hands. She pops in & out of my head, Leaving nothing but her smile. Wherever I look she’s always there She’s become my peace, the very dream I continue to wake & go back to sleep to. The breath I take that brings clarity To everything. My eyes no longer feel like “X’s” & I barely feel the stitches. She gives me the things she thinks I require & that’s the closest To love I’ve been. For someone to take time out of their day. To gain an understanding of someone else, Although much taller than I. She makes me feel bigger than what I really am. For some that might be trivial. But for me, It’s all I ever wanted to know
