defy (I'd give it all for love)

the soft glow of fresh snow
filters through slate blue curtains
my four-year-old philosopher
braves the morning cold
traverses the bare wood floors
in bare feet
wraps both arms around me, and
asks about death
shares his desire to live
with me
forever

I see him defying life's decay
just as he defies confinement within definitions of "a good boy"
I whisper encouragements
of scientific discovery
and some cliche about happiness
and living each day to its fullest
knowing I'd give it all
for love, for him to forever
defy expectations
