I just want it

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.
