For Chiyutai


Dear Chiyutai,
Suddenly you are so big, my pet,
And don’t want to be kissed –
In public and in private.
Those moments are now missed –
When you plonked on my lap with your chubby bums
And ate up my face with toothless gums.
You laid my long hair on your eyelids
To shield them from the light’s glow.
I don’t want to tell you this –  
But perhaps you already know.
That I still kiss you goodnight
When you are sleeping tight.
