baby and me

Hold him a little longer,
Rock him a little more.
Tell him another story

Let him sleep on your shoulder,
Rejoice in his happy smile.
He is only two and a half
For such a little while.

Ten little fingers, ten little toes.

We were given a miracle.
My Angel-Boy.
My Baby.

Such a tiny little body
with lungs strong and true.
Your own unique voice
lets me know when it's you.

Now that you're here
There's no turning back.
You're in my heart forever.
You keep me intact.

rock slowly back and forth,

my baby boy and me.
His little hand is feather light tucked 

up against my chin.
I hold his tiny hand in mine, 

and stroke his baby skin.
The house about us 

creaks and groans, 

the clock hands creep around.
He snuggles closer to me still, 

and makes his baby sounds.
I love these quiet hours so much, 

and cherish every one.
Store memories up inside my heart

for lonely nights to come.
All too soon he'll be grown up, 

his need for Mama gone.
But until then I still have time for kisses and for song.
Time for quiet hours like this with him cuddled in my arms.
Where I wish he'd always stay protected, 

safe and warm.
And yet I know the day will come 

when his tiny little hand,
will be bigger than my own. 

He'll grow to be a man.
But until then he's mine to love

with no one here to see.
As i rock slowly back and forth, my baby boy and me.

Love, Mommy
