Dear little boy with big blue eyes
and long
dark lashes,
come out and play.
you walk so slowly
each step
painfully determined
I can see you
hiding behind the shades of grey
my dear
I can see you
Life’s not always
black and
white
sometimes, there’s color too.
My darling little boy
with long
calloused fingers and
beautiful blonde hair
come out and play
run and
dance and
stomp around
Darling,
it’s safe here
Safe
to be happy
to let go of your fears
safe to shed the past for sunshine
And even though
I can’t
hold your hand
forever
I will always come back
for you
I will come back
Always
I promise,
I love you
