Aiden Three Laps Around The Sun

The blue wood maracas laid 

on the piano where we left them.

The spider frightened you

but not the dragonfly.

You weave sentences into a

continuous conversation.

You walk with the confidence

of a boy who is loved,

  a boy kissed by the sun and the moon.

Three years old

and life is unfolding 

with deep seeds of love

and knowledge ingrained in your being.

We walk side by side,

our friendship magnified 

by every magical story told,

with games that soothe wounds.

Engaging in questions,

delighting in the solutions.

Discovering new quests,

creating new dreams.

Life amplified with 

endless possibilities.
