Ode to those Blue Eyes

[natertatersmom]

You have made my days,
you know,
Soft...like the blurred edges of watercolors...
Pastels running together like some
Peace loving rainbow.

My smile, when you are here,
Is from inside...
Maybe even my toes...
And is more real than anything I've ever known...

More real than the grass I run in
Trying to reach you
In the joy of your simpleness...

More real than the water we splash in...
Droplets of laughter
Washing over me
Filling me up and Cleansing my soul...
Like Christ's blood...not sacreligious, that...
But as true as the sureness that He loves me...

More real than chocolate crumbs...
Tickling over our lips...
Melting onto our chins in
Warm sun that sparks mischief
In our bellies...

You make me real
make everything real
Blue eyed saviour of my own
innocence.
