3 weeks old..
I like to watch you sleeping
Still curled up from the womb
Now outstretched with no limits
with the whole world as your room
I listen to your noises
I watch you scrunch your nose
I inspect your delicate fingers
And your teeny weeny toes
I marvel at your features
I can’t believe the life I made
You’re a bundle of perfection
there’s nothing that I’d change
I see your rosebud lips all crumple
And inhale the smell that’s in your hair
I lay beside you and absorb you
I lay beside you and just stare
And even though you’re brand new
It’s like we’ve always known
This little boy that’s graced our lives
And slotted firmly in our home
I give you all your hopes and dreams
I send you all your wishes
And on your nose I place my lips
And plant a thousand kisses
It’s like we’ve already met you
and we already hold your heart
and everyone has adored you
completely from the start
And as I stare at you just sleeping
I whisper promises to you
and I hope you’ll carry all those promises in everything you do
I promise to always to be your confidant
to always catch your smile
To take time to hold the moment
and sit for just a while
To give to my shoulder
to remain a listening ear
to comfort you through loneliness
To comfort you through fear
I promise to always catch your teardrops
and to comfort you when down
and to make you laugh wholeheartedly
and make smiles out of your frowns
I will hold you up when falling
or sit alongside you when you need
I will be right there beside you
or follow closely as you lead
I will let you grow and flourish
I’ll stand back and watch you fly
and even when you’re far away
I’ll still be by your side
And I hope you feel my promises
sent as I watch you sleep
Just 3 weeks old, you have my word
These are promises I will keep..
Mrs FD ❤️
