In My Daughter's Mind

Just for one moment

I'd like to know

What goes on inside their minds?

I would be

On a quest

If only, just one time,

I could find out,

Why they do what they do?

What they want to be?

I'd be opening the door

Locked inside

With a golden key,

This door would open

I can imagine,

Only for a moment, for me.

I can picture a magical land

Full of sparkly dragons,

Polka dotted trees.

A wondrous place

Of heightened senses,

If only I could see.

Touch feels like a punch,

Flowers smell too strong,

Gentle whispers deafen.

They would tell me,

Yes, converse with me,

Share their secrets that lie within.

If only for one moment

Their minds would open

So I could understand...
