Inspired by the painting A Child’s Dream of Parents with More Time by Mia Koch.

In the view of it all, there is nothing but
love, how can it be anything but love?
Child on the shoulders, excited, points
the birds soar in a bright blue sky,
two, a mated pair. Two holding hands.
Blue reflects the calmness of being
they shared, sacred moment in time
remembered by the ocean waves
and the reminiscence that comes
with growing up, loved,
how can you be anything but loved?
