Don’t stress the mess
It will only last a moment
Treat it like the sunset sky
Take a picture, hold it
Objects scattered everywhere
On tables and floors
Where little hands play
Where great minds explore
And every single little thing
You see, Means something
To these great minds
A doll, a box, a piece of string
Every broken piece
Saved to glue or sew
Everything means something
These great minds know
They don’t hold back
From loving each thing personally
Playing, laughing, crying,
Loving…unconditionally
I’m learning not to stress this mess
I love these things too
They even make me think…
Of who gave them to you
Loved ones, some young, some old
Some have even passed
So don’t stress the mess
Hold on to everything, make it last
