I give the top of my head to my mom Silent head scratches are how we bond My left ear goes to my brother and the songs he writes in secret The right goes to my neighbor with the sad eyes and stories about dust The crook of my arm for puppy cuddles And the belly laughs for my friends My darling, There are some parts I wish I could give you But I am afraid they fell into the wrong hands Instead, I offer you the palm of my hand to cup your face My back for you to paint your masterpieces on And my rhythmic snoring to lull you to sleep I offer you the unclaimed pieces And hope you find them just as magical
