today they grow for Edie Pearl


the purples and pinks
all the colors daddy mixes 
vegetables in the garden
coffee that's too hot
shower water never truly warm enough
the birds and the saturday mornings and the music we sing
the dog that eats, the cat, the baby boy
today they grow for her

there was a flash of light and out she came 
and all the photographs and conversations and dance moves and grass stains to come 
will hold her in our hearts
her story is her own, but for a while we hold the frame
we decorate her space and paint her body with gentle touch 
and 
love her with our everything 

raise your glasses
our angel is here
