NaPoWriMo April 22: Painting Dreams

Now she wants llamas,
penguins, and dragons
to decorate her walls.
I can paint these for her,
now that she
is at the edge of becoming herself.
She wants the biggest blue sky,
a mountain in the background,
unfettered tomorrows.
I wonder what walls she will paint
one day, what mountains she will see,
what dragons she will tame.
For now, I nod and smile.
I can give her this
today.
