"I love you, daughter,
To the moon and back"
"I love you mother,
Infinity times infinity"
Bedtime stories, fairy tales,
'Ferdinand the Bull' and 'The Kissing Hand'
My childhood in a nutshell.
A quick kiss on the cheek,
As she tucks me in for sleep,
A day's anxiety comes to rest.
From sports game,
To feeling like I'm second place.
This is what we had,
Every single night,
To the moon and back.
Infinity times infinity,
I was told I won,
I loved her more,
A childish race,
An expected love,
Mother and daughter.
The bedtime tales,
Vanished from thought,
Fading memory,
Blown with the wind.
I try to hold on,
The happy moments,
But they are gone.
Forever in the past,
The simple inevitable,
Of life.
And now there is hardly a 'Goodnight',
Or a rehearsed 'I love you',
Mother and daughter,
A forced relationship.
I love her,
I do.
But it's hard when,
You are forced to stay,
And fake a smile.
"I love you, to the moon and back"
Simple words full of misconceptions.
