Poems of Motherhood | February

2/3/19

You love your cake
this time
with so many
gathered around you
if you ever forget
how loved you are
I hop you'll watch the video
and know

2/5/19

You're back to 2 naps
hallelujah

2/6/19

We woke to snow
piled high
it made me want to toss you in it
but you have no snow suit
so we watch it fall
through panes of cold glass

Yesterday
you rolled
you fell
down the stairs
when I close my eyes
I can still see you
tumbling
eyes frightened
body out of control
I can still see it
tumbling

2/9/19

You cried
Daddy was gone
just you and me in a strange, dark house
so I held you
tucked you close against me in our bed
realized just how long you'd grown

2/16/19

I remember thinking
this
is what I want to remember
you
falling asleep in my arms

2/27/19

I love how you yell
to hear your own voice
to hear how it echoes off the walls


Thanks for reading! :)
