The Bane of My
Existence And My Smile In Living Form
Saying the
SAME
Word over and over
And over
And again
Bringing me water “Betuz I want you to be healfy”
You need a password to get through, which I have to support
Because the password is
“Please may can I go through?”
Choosing to use his birthday money to buy everyone something
So
Many
Crumbs…everywhere
Helping to sweep
Throwing the trash into the can
Leaving splatters on the wall
The laugh that giggles to the ends of time
Peeing the bed
Pulling the siblings together with hugs and “I wuv you. You
da bess sisser ever”
The screaming, oh the screaming
The small arms that hold me, the tiny chest where I place my
head for gentle pats
“The only ting I member when I was baby, is you. The only ting I don’t member, is Daddy”
We all love you, the brother, the sister, the spirit father,
but you
You, my dear, are mine.
