i can make that beautiful
she says with a charming smile
and a box full of glitter
hours spent carefully
drawing and cutting
folding and gluing
to adorn the fridge
with beautified scraps

i can make that beautiful
she says with a shy smile
and a heart full of hope
hours spent carefully
listening and talking
holding hands and tissues
to piece together
the broken heart
of a friend

i can make that beautiful
she says with cheeky smirk
and a mind full of life
hours spent carefully
reading and learning
studying and experiencing
to build a foundation
as she grows up
and moves on

i can make that beautiful
she says with a wistful sigh
and her arms full of love
hours spent carefully
nuturing and worrying
praying and waiting
to hold her own
little bundle
of joy

i can make that beautiful
she says...and she did

Author's Note: there is nothing more beautiful to me than my children
