Toddler Sky

-Toddler Sky- Down where I sleep, You hold me, embrace my every way The Marks up on my skin You caress, taking away from the ugliness Watching the simple breath, when I breathe Breaking the ice, soothing my inner peace A sweet spray across the paleness in my limbs Holding the warmth, I've been loved throughout my life. From picking up sticks to the walking stick My loving dear I know you will always be there A few wheel chairs, when broken bones mend You know my every cure* Walk with me across the hall Through the oldness, and the boldness of every color in the sky Thank you for taking me as I am A light twinkle' every time I feel the colors of the rainbow drip Now a newborn takes his form In you I find the strength to stretch my arms and reach for every star When happy moments fail, I embraced the colors I found in you I make out every tree, and wonder why and how? I close my eyes to imagine the fun of chasing fireflies Tonight I'm keeping my prayers simple, cute, and innocent I will count sheep and search for sweet lullaby dreams Smiling like a 3 year old this very moment, You think I'm having "Baby Blues." My loving dear, thanks for having patience, Painting my way down a toddlers sky Every time "P M S" hits ~SKAT~

As always Skat, an excellent write from your pen. From the title to the end of the piece you lead us on the journey and what a touching journey it is my friend. In this piece you use the free verse form to its complete potential. This is a seven for sure and into my faves it goes....Vladislav.

I could really relate to the emotions conveyed in this creative piece SKAT. I don't think anyone can understand what this feels like unless they have suffered from it. I unfortunately passed this to all three of my daughters. This is a beautiful poem! #7

Ha ha loved it and the PMS bit at the end was a nice twist. I was drawn by the title and was not disappointed.

SKAT What a unique and interesting write. The imagery and descriptiveness is so real and vivid that it pulls the reader from beginning to end. Thank you for the lovely comment on my Moon Madness poem

Hi SKAT; Am going to devote most of my morning to reading poetry, and am pleased I chose this one to begin with. It is so poignant-then you "flip the script" in the last line, "Every time "P M S" hits"...smile. A truly delightful piece, Thanks so much for sharing. xoxoxoxo Robert
