For Lily, while we wait for the bus

The sun blotted out everything
But your laugh
Like fairy bells, it dances through my soul 

Your face comes into focus
Brightness shines in your eyes
Infinite trust in your smile 

Time has past so quickly
No more the chubby little hand reaching
Now, talk of phones, clothes and dance

But time has not stolen the laugh, light or love. 
We march forward together
I grow old as you grow up
