Open up your eyes and see,
We are drifting apart hopelessly...
Bustling around the kitchen,
Making food for her family...
Rising up into the sky,
The sun kissed her...
Little Girl was life,
Beholding beauty and bravery...
Still up straight,
From your first blow...
I don't know how it happens,
I see it time and time again...
One by One
Word by word...
Dirty floors,
In my soiled little house...
Watching you,
Touch her...
Counting down,
The year, month...
Life is a child on a swing-set,
Laughter bursting from him as his feet move...
Laying alone,
In a colorful bed...
