If I had one wish,

I would wish you

would never grow older.

 

 

 

Your brother and sister have gotten older,

as much as I have

bargained and pleaded

that they not.

I'm not sure I can endure

any more

of this getting bigger business

so

stay four.

Stay holding my hand,

stay cuddling,

stay singing your ABCs.

We can blow bubbles,

go for walks,

and

watch Dinosaur Train

for the rest of our days.
