Missing Teeth

Missing Teeth Authored by Chuck Keys a rainbow walked into my room pretty enough to bloom pink and purple with smiling missing teeth, happy as a butterfly cutely reminiscing fulfilled deep brown eyes open wide sensitive pensive and alert digesting the entirety of it all innocently studying my face, yet with question licking her lips, hungry in thought ... reciprocal smiles signaling raceless acceptance blind to doubt, hate, and experience of time wanting to thirst willing to trust without rage demanding more giving more deserving more she stands proud filled with sugary sweetness youthfully contrasting my many years she calls me papa, i call her princess missing teeth and all

A wonderful poem that most of us fathers can relate. The innocence of childhood is sadly so short lived, often all we have left is the memories. Our Princess leaves one stage and enters many transitional phases until she presents, now grandpa, with a new princess to reminisce once again. I love your poem, thanks for sharing and the trip down memory lane.
