he wants to wear dresses
he wants to be pretty
he wants to put on music and dance
he wants to twirl around
to feel free in all his unencumbered two-year-old ways
then his big sister says he can't
that boys don't wear dresses
my heart breaks a little for him
I hope somewhere deep down he remembers
the nights in the kitchen when she's asleep already
I pull out the dresses and put on the music
we dance together
so he can feel beautiful too
