I wish we could play here fourever

getting lost
in the imagination
vivid
child's play

everything is larger
than life

we hide from zombies
we have the most
powerful behind us
utilizing their abilities
to save ourselves
Sonic
whose speed is unmatched
we fly
leap
take down anything
in our path
remotely evil
scary

teddy bear
becomes a basketball
recliner
place to jump to new heights
for that dunk
earning us one hundred
million points
if we do  it just so
he always wins

we race
down long distances
those tiny feet
flirting with the ground
arms held stiffly back
for aerodynamic speed
at least five steps to my two
which he has determined
is in fact cheating
if somehow I am faster

we attempt to play
video interactive games
he completely takes over
to play against himself
proclaiming,
"You don't know how to do it!!"
which unbeknownst to him
i  am perfectly okay with
without further ado
he wins

his level of energy
non stop
fun
laughter
hugs
multiple "I love yous"
which balloon a heart

I wonder in his mind
how he will remember these moments
what impressions made on
such a young soul
how my name spills
from those sweet innocent
lips
not afraid to say
"this is bullshit"
in proper circumstances

in awe of his
imagination and wit
want to keep safe
secure in such small hands
against this big world
that swallows in an instant

he is the hero
of his own story
his small hand in mine
we unite in steady armor
of love
the best form of play
life

he is a warrior
spunky
beautifully intelligent
strong
fierce when warranted
fists raise in defiance
spirited as a wild foal
he chases dreams
light and dark
air dances with his laughter
he is joy
always loving
he is the embodiment
of everything four

he is Troy
