my kid watches stars
my kid sleeps with the window open just so they can smell the rain
my kid appreciates
every ounce of pain
that has amounted from every year in the same house
and every ounce of joy that has been gifted from every experience
my kid is more amazed
by any extraordinary light on a wall
than any ordinary light on a monument
my kid watches the moon
my kid loves with such a magnitude
that cannot be explained or held
with their eyes open and their back to the wall
looking forward always
my kid savors the taste of every molecule of a summer breeze
and the fading sun on an evening in july
and they know that although time passes by
the silent beauty that time brings is and will be
more valuable than any currency
my kid turns off the news
and turns on the radio
and loses their concious mind to the melody
my kid chases symphonies
and does not wait for the future
but lives for now
because they know the future is waiting
for them
my kid watches stars
and knows that one day
their soul will be among them
