The last first lost tooth
He is six years old, the sixth of our six kids, and it's his turn to pass this milestone for the first (and last) time.
the tooth is so tiny in his hand, like a seed if planted, a little boy with round eyes would rise a birthmark of pale hair on his close-cut scalp a minute gap in his wide smile the seed will be sowed under a pillow tonight light playing across his closed eyes sleep fragile as he waits for the fairy that he still half believes in the tooth fairy will leave him a note saying she will plant his first tooth and it will grow into saffron sunflowers five sprouting from one long stem the most beautiful baby tooth, its loss like the first fallen leaf
Such a bittersweet envoy...
So so tender. Brings a smile to my heart. Precious times. You are truly blessed.❤️
