Blue
By Christina Marie Speed
Mama, Thank you for giving birth to my brother,
he says
out of a six-year-old
blue.
Skin, brown from sun,
heart warmed and clear,
dawn of love.
Eyes and hands
on Brother,
fingers tracing circles
on smallish shoulder bones.
Energy plays through
his body
and fresh love
ripples and births
creating a bright
new family blue.
your love for your child radiates in this beautiful poem.
Fantastic use if language especially the shoulder description 🙂
