Anthology

For Emma

Courtney Kincaid

Whose eyes I see
have traveled far
You always look
to the future
I’ve often pondered
what you saw
Staring out in
your pictures

Trying to grow
up so fast
I plead and say
“Don’t rush it!”
I want your childhood
to forever last
Never ever
forget it

My life is now
complete with you
You’ll forever have
my heart
Your love lights up
every room
The love we share
will ne’er part
