Dirty Blonde

~*~
I remember the way your eyes
just barely reached my waist
Beautiful brown eyes smiling
while taking a ride on my feet
~*~
I recall your tiny little hands
wrapping around my fingers
gripping tight to not get lost
and the way you trusted me
~*~
I still have a picture I treasure,
your addition to the grocery list
“Ottmill cookis with crem inside”
one of our favorite sweet treats
~*~
But probably my favorite memory
is when you lay asleep in my lap
I remember the smell of your hair
filled with comfort rocking you gently
