Innocence Can Heal (A Memoir)©
Skin as white as snow
Hair yellow with a touch of fire
Eyebrows a strawberry blonde
Nose round and small as can be
His ears spread ou tlike wings
Begging for the wind to take him away
His voice bigger than his vocabulary.
Head coming only just above my knees
I met him first two and a half years ago
He smiled at me
A gummy smile
AND
In an instant
Filled a hole deep inside my heart
I smiled back
Moisture racing to my eyes
The fight of my life
Trying not to cry
Who could have known?...
That innocence could heal
A child's smile can make you cry
He would heal my aching heart inside
I sat beside him in the car
As we drove oh so far
Driving down to the zoo
His parents in the front
In the back us two
I talked to him
Told him he touched my heart
Not yet one
He understood what part?
I fed him mush
Cleaned his face
For the mush was all over the place
I bathed his hands
Which clutched mine
I felt a flood of emotions
At one time
Wanted to laugh
Needed to cry
Time went by until
I saw him again
I moved to Tennesssee
To live with a family
I asked to visit him
Had to thank that little boy who...
Filled me with this happiness I never knew
I walked in
Saw him playing
How big he had grown
In what seemed like one day
He jumped around
Big Bird in his tiny hands
He caught a glance of me
By the door where I stood
Cocking his head
In a curious-puppy like way
His brain working
You could see it on his face
He knew who I was
In an instant he shouted
Shay!!!!
From the top of his lungs
How could he
Speak my name when
He's only one
What a wonderful thing
He had done
I picked him up
Closed my eyes
AND
Held him close
Opened my eyes
Then we both had grown a year
I shed a tear
How did we get here?
Ninja Turtles and Optimist Prime
He's turning two
Growing like they do
Why did I have to close my eyes
Hvae to blink
This life goes faster than we think
I blink again
I'm saying good bye to him
Living in California Again
I think of him
and how
He played with my heart
Like a marionette puppet
I can't help it
I love that little boy
My Cousin
My Blood
