A pretty picture of two kids glee
took one hundred tries as they kicked and screamed.
A meal made fresh loses its steam,
as she tends to everything else before she eats.

A restful moment loses its wings
as the cries let you know they’re no longer asleep.
These are the things you never see
because she handles it all so gracefully.

Not a moment to spare without a want or need.
Not a moment to stop, close your eyes and breathe.
These are the things you never see
because she handles it all so gracefully.

Only when you lay still
can I admire you up close.
See how peaceful you are
when your eyes are shut closed.

I breathe you in for just a moment
as you breathe in my pillowcase.
Never do I feel more comfort
than when I know you’re sleeping safe.

Ari boy, we spend our days
watching you, chasing you, feeding you yogurts,
talking, laughing, arguing,
hugging, crying, learning, searching for patas.

You live life like it’s a race
and you’re always trying to win.
We’re just trying to keep up,
while rooting from the stands.

And buggy, I wouldn’t change a thing.
You’re exactly who you’re meant to be
and we adore every piece.
And I love the all the laughs
And all the tears.

And perhaps my favorite is when you emerge from sleep,
observant, talkative, detailed.
Ready to play and run some more.
It’s something that never fails.
