When u grow up,
or if you are grown...
tell your children about your
way of life.
tell them u woke up before the dawn broke.
when the sheet of sky was purple
with dark.
when the sun came up and the birds took flight...
when the horizon was as clear as new glass...
tell them u ran all the way home
ready to spill the events
of that exciting school day
into your mother's lap.
tell them about your first crush,
your first kiss,
the first time u were asked to dance.
tell them how you felt when you got accepted
into college...
tell them how you felt when you had
to say goodbye
to your childhood friend.
tell your children about your dreams
about what you wanted at different ages.
tell your children about your new year
resolutions,
about your birthday wishes...
about your bedroom.
tell your children
how it was like
to know they were born.
tell your children how happy you felt
to know a part of you was
out
into the world.
take this vow.
tell your children
how you once felt
and how you
still feel.
tell your children
about the emotional satisfaction
that is overflowing
from your soul.
