Master of Legos

Master of words

Master of interruption

You find some trying ways

To make your presence known

Yet in spite of all my frustration

I love you.

I love your creations and potions

I love your mind, your cerebral approach

Constant chatter, constant directives

A million words sandwiched into a minute

My brain begins to falter, overload

But my heart is with you

Loving you, admiring you

When I am glad to put you to sleep

Because your ideas are paramount

They are multi-faceted and immediate

I quell my weariness with a small glass of wine

Yet, I love you

Please know that I love you

Even when I need peace, solitude

I love you even when my voice

Is firm, opposite and unwavering

I guide your path because

that is true love

And I am the master of your life

Until you are old enough to walk alone

But you have control

Over my heart, over what we can safely allow

The extremes are hard to navigate

But we will find a way through uncharted territory

Even if we feel moments of sinking fear

You will raise above and beyond this

And so will we

Love you

love you

love you

please go to sleep!
