It was nice to sit and watch
Films from our childhood
To introduce your kiddos to them
To commentate and reminisce
Just weeks earlier feeling
Like I no longer fit
In the family spaces
I inhabited as a child
Recalling how through the years
The image I had painted
Was tinted and a little skewed
By my rose colored glasses
Painting a reality
That wasn’t quite accurate
But, sitting with you
My big brother
Watching a simple children’s film
Touched something deep in my soul
And all I could do was tell you
How thankful I was
You shrug, telling me you fell asleep for most of it
But I want you to know how much
An impromptu movie night
Helped to heal
A broken part of me
