Ode to a Three-year-old

sometimes I yearn to smell you hair
touch your soft chubbiness
not so chubby anymore

sometimes I see the battle within you
you want to sit in my lap
your mouth is pouting down
but you're too proud
your integrity is strong

you can be shy if you want to
you can be blunt if you want to
you can be sad if you want to
you can say no if you want to

I learned my lesson
I will put my trust in you
always stand behind you
never be ashamed of you

because I see you
I know you who you are
I see hints of who you will become

you talk really loud
beg me for stories
you're so enthusiastic
about life and those around you

please don't let us change you
