glimmering light of far away stars,
They gazed at me as
though I was their rock star.
Lips that lisped sweet words
in my soul, a chord was struck,
They made mundane words seem
more precious than the preciouss.
Tiny hands that wiped away
the invisible tears I shed,
On my cheeks they felt
like the softest of silks.
The warm body that hugged
sharing all the love it possessed,
The vibe that I sensed
of the special bond created
The look that you gave reflected
wisdom way beyond your years,
as though you somehow understood
the pain and ache behind the false smiles.
You gave me something
No one else can ever give,
The warm glow of a million suns
that light up my dark days and nights.
With you around
life is easier to face,
My strength, my sanity,
my joy, my grace.
Just remember in
the days yet to be,
This heart will beat for you
as yours did beat for me.
( Dedicated to my tiny powerhouse of a nephew Sidartha aka Sid,
whose innocence and love helped me through my darkest year )
