Me, Tyler and the Trees
Our smiles were contagious,
our laughter sincere.
Eyes so new
everything was beautiful.
Little fingers
could hardly grasp
daddy's hands.
Mommy loved us
like no one else.
Do you remember what
that love felt like?
Our bodies grew bigger,
our eyes opened wider.
Soon we saw
the dirt
clouding everything.
It was all taken from us
in time.
When those little hands
reached up for mine
and that smile spread wide
in the summer dusk
it all became beautiful
again.
So beautiful that
tears ran down my face
as the words
ground to a halt.
