Because of you
I can see the world through different eyes.
Rose colored glasses that view rainbows in mud puddles,
And my imagination can join you
in forging for gold among ordinary stone.
Leaves become boats for fairies,
Raindrops the tears of God.
Through your eyes, daddies become Kings
Daughters princesses and dogs noble knights.
Because of you
I remember that wearing a tutu
To the grocery store is common place;
For a ballerina Such as yourself.
Stop and watch the smallest insect.
Capture ladybugs and then set them free.
Watch the clouds for pictures,
And don’t ever forget falling stars
Grant Wishes… three.
Because of you
Lakes become oceans,
And Stuffed animals live secret lives in the darkness
While the whole house sleeps.
Through your eyes I become the mommy of a princess,
The ruler of kingdoms with my king by my side,
Our house a castle, with
fairy Godmothers Visiting for tea.
Dancing in the summer sun,
Dodging water from the sprinkler,
I am no longer in the backyard but under a water fall
In the midst of a jungle.
Because of you
I know endless love,
That dreams do come true,
and secrets whispered in the darkness
Can be cherished for eternities.
All because of you.
