It’s easy to fly in dreamland

With no bills or ties to reality

Elevating to new heights

But don’t let yourself

Float away to the moon

Or you’ll miss under your feet

The flowers that bloom

The every day small wonders

That brighten the gloom...

Means I’m no longer fighting

The thoughts in my head

The projector in my brain

Replaying my mistakes and regrets

The guilt and shame of my past

Still keeps me awake at night...

The way your face

Lights up the room

When you see me enter it

You drop whatever’s in your hands

To run and greet me like I’m the sun

I am your sun

But you are my son

You light up my heart and world...

I remember

The first time

That our eyes met

And you smiled for me

I was the center of the universe

My heart swelled in my chest

I knew then

I wanted that smile

To wake up on the pillow

Next to me...
