Love in the Middle
You get lost so often
between the baby
and the dramatic pre-teen,
but your carefree nature
never complains.
You giggle with wild abandon
and find love in flower petals and unicorns.
We share small moments
under covers
whispering secrets,
spinning tales so large the limits
of imagination are stretched
thin as the hairs on a violin bow.
And you play so sweetly on my heart.

I love how the metaphor of the imagination gets stretched into the beautiful concluding line!
I love how moments so small, go to the stories so large, even so large and fanciful that things become very small and intimate again…. right over your heart. This was gorgeous. I thought of breathing, and fragility. Really great. Thank you.
