Addicted to Love
I am addicted to you
sweet child.
You made me laugh,
from your first smile
to the first time
you called my name.
Nothing from there will ever
be the same.
I wanted
to make the world perfect.
Rainbow days,
with and without rain.
Snow... in winter.
Birds singing in spring,
that seemed to continue
all year through.
Magically.
Walks in the gardens,
talks at the beach.
Full moon nights,
and mountain heights...
Picnics with teddy bears,
and county fairs.
You grew up too fast,
and nothing really lasts.
Knights turn to rust,
but the memory you can trust.
Warrior moms,
Viking fathers...
Doing our best
to get past the test,
better than the rest,
truly prayerfully,
mercifully,
gracefully
allowed...
to hang on
for just a little while,
only to be pushed to let go,
in the end.
