Tilt Your Head Up, Little One
Cool, the air, so somber
Your verbal happiness, absent
Warm, the mind, so scared
Your existence, absence
Keeping the keys to yourself
I can only offer my presence
Only my best guesses
Words of encouragement
Words of assurance
I'll reserve activities for another day
I'll reserve soliloquies for hearsay
Right now, my eyes are on you
Listening, suggesting
Taking every opportunity to help you sign in tomorrow
So…
Tilt your head up little one
I'll show you the stars that reign above
I'll reveal secrets beyond understanding
Or at least
I'll bless you with my various lovings
Oh, little one
I don't know what you're thinking
But just know
I'll always be waiting, trying, loving
I'll do my best to make do
I'll do my best to provide for you
So, tilt your head up little one
Life has only just begun
And even if the struggles have you far gone
Just know you're not the only one
There's so much to be done
