love.
Write about the purest form of love. But to be more realistic, add practical, possibly impure, aspects.

Re-watching the Past, Looking to the Future

I see your little face

grinning in a Power Rangers suit

Red, of course that would be your favorite

You are so small

hands so tiny

your smile is the cutest thing

I see a home-video

your sisters playing violin together

very out of tune

you in the background

not more than 4

spinning around to the music

holding your sippy cup

the entire time

I wonder if our children

will have your fluffy hair

your curiosity, independence

If I will see your smile on their face

hear your sass in their voice

I see your old pictures,

I fangirl over them

forever thanking my lucky stars

Your family-history focused aunt

Discovered Facebook

You might think I'm weird

But I just think your adorably sweet

Thankfully, you love me anyway

And together wonder about the future

while looking back fondly at the past

I am 21 years or older.
