MY DAY WITH AVA

MY DAY WITH AVA
*
It’s children who put 
our lives in perspective
what’s going on elsewhere
...I really don’t care
*
As I kiss her soft cheek
and hold her little hand
there’s rarely a thought
of the folly of man
*
There’s rarely a thought
of the troubles of the world
as her soft little sighs
soothe the weariest soul
*
As I watch how the milk 
empties fromthe bottle
I really don’t notice
time goingfull throttle
*
Cause I’m in a place
where I’d much rather be
with sweet little smiles
from Ava to me
