With your fingers
You mindlessly rearrange my hair
And the colors of the rainbow
Change order .
I can see clearly now
The path and the flow.
And I let my mind follow
the hands of a clock
Round and round
Dawn to dusk.
Every day I have done
The same race
Ready to fall off
get up, brush off, and go;
Until you have come
To set milestones in my life
Centimeter by centimeter
Adding meaning each day.
I watch you growing taller,
more loving, more curious,
And more independent
And now that you are ready
To fly your own flight
Run your own race
I hope the you find
Somebody to give you aim
And grow all the love
You can grow, like a garden
With beautiful flowers
And colors
I wish you to find
Joy in the fleeting moments
And use them To build
solidly your eternity
By all standards of measure
And challenges
Arm yourself with laughter
And walk your path
Bright and light.
I say this to you
Wishing I can comb
Your wild hairs
And rearrange
The world to make herself
Better . Or it is on you.
