I Blinked
Come on, one more push!
Now I hold you in my arms.
Your cry is music.
Come now, one more try!
Shaky steps and many falls.
I will pick you up.
Bye now, one more kiss!
Bags are packed. You’re out the door.
Blink and you are grown.
Come on, one more push!
My baby holds their baby.
You hear music, too.
And now, one last breath.
Your wrinkled eyes cry for me.
We will meet again.
