Sweet Child of Mine

Sweet child of mine

I’d grab a star and

store it full of magic

and endless light to

carry you through,

out into days that

would take you

away although

never far enough

for distance, yet

pull you across

time where I’d

wrap myself in

the gentle folds

of remembrance,

an endless candle

illuminating every

eternal memory,

our days never

stretching long

enough when our

stories blended

into all the wonder

of your unwinding

imagination,

where I fell with you

back into a dream,

a child again holding

a gift I was given…

a heart-shaped star

full of light and magic.
