Strawberry Blonde

Curls for days

Blue eyes filled with wonder

Freckles sprinkled

Across your perfect skin

You’ve “grown a foot”

Over the weekend

Feels like I haven’t seen you

In ages and ages

A couple days of sharing

But it feels like forever

Your sister seems so grown too

Her long red-brown hair

Green eyes glowing

But so tired from “big sistering “

She’s let her soul age

Beyond the point of no return

In just a weekend’s time

To say I’m glad you’re both home

Would be an understatement

I’ll hold on to every single day

All the moments in between

Until I have to share you again

No matter where you go

To me, you’re all mine

All the time.

I’ll be forever waiting.
