Fingers

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.
