When I was a baby,
My first memory i ever had
Was a clear view of the galaxy
As blue, purple, and an odd shade of pink
Mixed together like watercolor
The stars created unique images against the blackness
And planets scattered across the canvas
And then there was a bright light
As if a star exploded and sent me into the world as if to say
“Go be something fantastic”
Next thing i could see was myself,
running down the foyer to send my sisters
Off to school,
In a red ladybug outfit, a three year old girl,
Who smiled and begged a woman,
My mother,
Who wears the sun like a hat
To go to school
She looked at me with a warm smile portrayed by the gods
Skin glowing almost angelic-like
And told me i was not of age
13 years later
I can vividly remember what that galaxy looked like
And how my mother glowed like a guardian angel
In disguise
