To Mia, To Remember

To Mia, To Remember

There is nothing more beautiful than your face right now. Holding you in my arms fills me with peace. Your body relaxes, as does mine.

These moments of calm have become fewer. 

Your curiosity of the world around you grows just as quickly as you do. Lately as I hold you, you wiggle and squirm.
Reaching for the next thing
to touch,
to feel,
to explore.
Your hands stretching, grasping, holding, pushing.
You are learning with every move.

You want to see everything. I want you to, also.
I know your potential is endless.

But really I just want to keep you here, next to my heart.
Quietly listening to the rhythm of your soft breathing. Watching the expressions of your dreams.

Soon your eyes will open and your voice will insistently call.
Time to play.
Time to eat.
Your future awaits!

For now you are here,
Held close.
