Today you are
22 years young
Back then
At the beach
I held you on my belly
Flesh on pudgy flesh
Softly breathing, heaving
Today you are
Leaving, no longer mine

A scar is the tattoo of a triumph to be proud of. It says the hurt is over and the wound is closed. It means you conquered the pain, learned a lesson, grew stronger, and moved forward. There is a beauty in my scars that I can see now.

Re: Cinco de Mayo Child
Oceantide, my youngest (heart) child turns 22 this month. She is my precious Cinco de Mayo girl, as that’s the day she arrived, (as a foster child) and she could only speak Spanish at the time. Oh time flies too fast! Can we stop it? I absolutely Love this! Thanks for sharing!

Re: Cinco de Mayo Child
Scars and invisible, thank you for your kind words. Resonating can feel bittersweet. Our love children. Feelings that defy language.

Re: Cinco de Mayo Child
So bittersweet isn’t it? To see them grow up. It’s what they do! But the sweet memories…..they getcha right in the “feels”, don’t they?
