About to miss it

It swirls it twirls,

Everything blurred by that one baby girl.

Blue eyes glowing, her blond hair catching the wind.

I hold her hand, say her name,

Watch her grin her silly grin.

Her body sways while the music is playing,

While they play through the day while

Suns shining, the day is unwinding.

We’re in the car

And as we approach I hear

This gentle crying;

A part of me is dyeing.

It tears my heart to pieces.

I want to give her what she wishes.

She whispers, with teary blue eyes.

“I wish time would freeze so you would be mine.

Don’t go stayyyyy with me.

When you’re gone I miss you,

Don’t leave don’t say goodbye.”

Her little lip quivers,

I’m so sorry I have to go..

All I can do is lean down and kiss her,

She is my youngest little sister

And I already miss her,

Her screaming in the morning,

Stubborn demands, her tiny fingers

On her hot little hand

her blue eyes glowing,

Even her quivering chin.

The red truck pulls away,

She’s about to live her life

And I’m about to miss it.
