Angel Scientist
I press a kiss into her hair
And try to memorize the feeling
Strands against lips
Her smell as I breathe her in
My Angel
I’m saving this memory
For the first time, you break my heart
And all the times after
‘Cause that’s what kids do
Right?
They’re little scientists
Breaking things
So they can put them back together
Challenging limits
Experimenting with dreams
My Angel wears a lab coat
And when she tries to break my heart
Just to see if she can
I’ve got toddler giggles
And infant cuddles
To glue it back together
