Lecturing My Daughter on Her First Fall Rain this then is fall rain. i spoke of it

in july, telling you rain has textures,

telling you july rain drives deep for dry roots, to fill them, drives in at warm angles, softly. i told you then fall rain is cold, rough as wrought iron, sometimes, bent as rusted nails. you were content, though, to wait, to learn this rain by touch, to measure your blue fingers against the still warm places between rain-drops on your surprised face. by Tom Montag

I want her to love me

I want her to comb my hair,

like she loves me

Even though it's rough, she take her time as though she combs through clouds.

I want her to love me

Communicate it to me, not at me, not through me but to me

I want her to see me for me, for the unique glass she carved into perfection.

I need her to understand me, to listen, not hear

I need her to laugh at my jokes because understands me

I need her to open her heart to me, love me like her ownself

I wanted her to wash my hair

I wanted her to care

I wanted her to love my my mind

I needed her to be kind

I needed her to nurture

I needed a perfect future.
