You Were Tiny

A poem for your little inner champion

how proud I am, of how far you’ve come tiny and floating

the perils you’ve pushed through the rewards you’ve fought for tiny and floating

for once you were learning & for now, you’re teaching tiny and floating

you’ll reach the stars & you’ll be a true star tiny and floating

my wildest expectations exceeded my dearest beloved, you were tiny and still you’re floating

Author’s Notes: This is for my inner child and for all the inner children in us, readers. Look how far we’ve come! Thank you to the illustrious Lucy Dan 蛋小姐 (she/her/她) for the “tiny and floating” prompt.
