meeting you

I have debated unicorns while combing our daughter’s hair braiding my tight curls loosened by your mother's waves
and slain the Jabberwock with our son the one who has a little to much of me on the inside the dreamer.
I have sprinkled water on your face to wake you for prayer because fajr is early but witr is earlier
And sung surahs like bedtime stories just so I can memorize something other than Dr.Seuss's silly rhymes
I have loved you without ever meeting you
Held your hands in countless daydreams and long walk that we took through town before the kids and sometimes will still do letting the little ones run
across the park and over to the swings
I obeyed your wishes as though they were commands for the few moments when we are telepathic and our conversations are just in the meeting of our eyes.
I have loved you without ever meeting you
