What do you love, asks Alice
I don’t need much thought –
Words and you.
I like that you can laugh now
I like that I can too –
Appropriately
I love your tiny warm hands
And your swinging legs
When eating apple pie
I love blue skies and star skies
And to notice them twirling around me
I love that I am trying to leave Wonderland
And sitting by the river
I love blue eyes and cotton near my skin
I love dreaming –
Drifting away
I love comfort and silence
Colourful lights and candles
Glowing beautifully in the darkness
Most of all I love learning –
And how we are crossing borders every day
How magical it feels to grow and blossom –
To at last begin to be.
