Poems for my kids


NIA

Flitting to and fro like a hummingbird.
Delicate and constantly moving.

Teasing with mischievous delight
amid impish squeals of laughter.
Giggling and illusive

Insatiable curiosity leading to
wondrous discoveries.
Exploring and testing limits

Intolerant of the injustices
that affect her and those she
loves.
Courageous and protecting.







KADEN


Imagination taking him to far off places.
DRAGONS!
EVIL WIZARDS!
SPACESHIPS!
GIANT OCTOPUS!

Speaking the world's truths,
unintentionally humorous.
Capturing your heart.

Logically arguing, dismantling
rules and boundaries.
Asking why

Content with the simple things
Innocence intact
Believing in magic
Beautiful dreamer
Unconditional love
