You are way
too small
Too tiny
too insignificant
to have anything at all to say
You can barely form a word at all
Mama
Dada
Play
What crazy first  words
you
first
say
Us
I will leave now
Quietly
Without fuss
But I want you to know
I am leaving
Just for us
The truth is that
We are finite
One life we have to live
To fill the world
With love and light
Not tarnish it with hate


The truth is that
We are human
Each and every one
So teach the next generation
To do better than we’ve done
The truth is that this poem could probably never really be finished as there are so many messages that need to be sent to the world and words will never be enough
