The Little Things
You are amazing.
When I count your tiny toes
And kiss your button nose
I am saying I love you.
My hearts, my life, my soul-
You take my breath away.
Too quickly, you are running,
"Look here, see what I found, look what I can do!"
And I do. With a warmth in my core and joy in my eyes,
because I love you.
Too soon you’re gone, I blinked.
On your own and I am alone.
You don’t need me to balance your shaky steps,
Or to hold your hand for courage.
But I need you.
You struggle to break free,
But you have always been free,
I merely guided you to keep you safe,
To illuminate your path..
You have always been so strong,
Self evident in your actions, and
I am so proud of you
Every moment for all time.
Each of you are pieces of the puzzle,
ragged on the smooth cut edgea,
yet seamlesss when together.
You are the answers,
the trifecta that beats a steady rhythm
beneath my bones. You three complete me.
You are my shining stars.
You are my purpose.
You are my heart
I love you.
I have always loved you.
I have always needed you.
Before you were a glimmer, I needed you.
I will always need you.
You are every breath I took before
And in every smile and memory.
I knew you before I met you,
Beautiful light of my soul.
You are my reason,
my all of the reasons,
And you make my journey worth it.
And I will be here when you need me.
Always, because I love you.
