Poetry: I Love You Miss A :)

Untitled

While you nap, I find peace at last

I recover from your endless parades

I sit in silence without princesses singing their love songs

I recover from the insanity that you bring me

I sit in silence without hearing the ABCs, 123s, or shape names

I begin my hour of freedom

I surf the web without interruption

I watch my favorite tv show

I draw, write, paint, anything I want

I am alone, by myself

Suddenly, I begin to miss your little face

I miss you clinging onto my legs

I miss you bringing me your favorite book to read

I miss you dancing to the songs I sing

I don’t really want to be alone

I sneak into your room, just for a peak

I almost always wake you

You spring up from a deep sleep

Wide-eyed, sparkling with joy

You lift your arms way up high

We laugh and play again for hours

Toy sirens and puzzle pieces fly in all directions

Cups, bowls, and straws spread across the kitchen floor

You drool all over my phone

Even take the initiative to dial up a long lost friend

You are the shining star in my life

But, dear precious, monster-baby girl

I am so thankful for you

And thankful that in just four more hours

Another naptime will roll on in

:)
