Both of You

Today,

I see you,

Ready for the world,

Eager, caged in to

The young life you’re

Bored with, as you

Lay curled in the pale

Pink corner, missing

Your mom, crying

For home.

Ten years later,

I see you,

Once wearily

Walking about,

Grateful to finally

Be home.

Next,

Zipping under

Your own legs,

Bouncing about

In a pink and blue

Tutu, giggling,

Bopping across

The room.

As your crash

Onto the couch,

I see a smile 

Creep across 

Both faces

As we watch

The little girl

Love life
