your breakfast will be shining stars on a silver platter. in your lunchbox I will pack sunshine each tear you cry, I will catch. when you’re scared you know where I am I’ll hold you like three months sing you to sleep or smiles
days and days and days.
I know that you’ll be lost sometimes I won’t always have a map but on the table you’ll find food and in the bed a safe place for you to rest your eyes and count the sheep quietly prancing behind closed eyes
months and months and months
you’ll love and lose and be alone, but always even when your last friend folds you know when you open the door I’ll hear the creak and rush to hold you at arms length and with one glance I’ll know your pains pull you closer and tell you
tales of when long ago my last friend folded tales of when the fire licked my toes tales of when the sun danced on my skin and then and there you’ll know all along I loved you so much more than time can tell so much more than words can say so much more than letters can spell and so much more than sounds can make
I’ve loved you more than wind in my hair I’ve loved you more than dirt between my toes I’ve loved you more with each painful moment
with each jab she made, my love grew every tear watering the flower long before I knew it existed Each snark comment that cut my skin leaving me bleeding and aloney fed the flower ever growing and if you ever come along
you’ll know from the moment you feel my touch that I will dance with you until the sun comes up I’ll catch your tears all night long I’ll give you ice cream and listen to your angel voice soft against my ears
I’ll cradle you until you’re my size then I’ll cradle you some more I’ll hold your laugh in my heart and when I’m crying I’ll let it out like Pandora and her box but your laugh will infect all things with good make them shine like gold and silver
I will not keep you from mistakes it’s not my place to live your life I’ve already been living mine, but if you need help, ask. When you need support I’ll be there Do the things that make you smile that smile will make me happier happier than any gold medal, happier than and sum of money could ever make me.
That smile will make me dance and sing and and live longer than anything because in your smile there’ll a little part of me. Nothing big or great, because I’m neither, but something small and subtle.
Everyone will know your smile and you will always remember every day when you wake up
that my love for you overflows every ocean that my love for you stands taller than any crane that my love for you outweighs any killer whale that my love for you runs deeper than the grand canyon deeper even than the Mariana Trench higher than seven Mt. Everests and an Eiffel Tower
And when you wake up and feel my love where ever you are be it Paris, Rome, Milan, Idaho be it Iceland or Greenland or Newfoundland, you will smile. You will know when your eyes open to start each day that my love is wrapped around you tight always where ever you go you will smile and everyone will know you. are. loved.
