if
he stopped
every time i thought
let’s savor this
moment we would never
make it to point b
he is motion
personified from eye opening
hello to the lazy “drunk”
slurs of his goodnights
caught in the
excitement
sentinel off guard
photos mostly blurred
buzzes unable to keep up
I stand awash in a
see of firsts
blessed both witness and
scribe for each singular triumph
shaken heads wonder
at this late in life choice
while I gasp and marvel
in all the ways this imperfect
me molds completely perfect
he

Great flow!
Thank you for reading.
I’m pretty sure if you asked him, he’d say you’re perfect! 😉
Haha. Some days I wonder…thanks for reading.
The beginning, when everything is shiny and new.
I lovr the perspective of the the first stanza, the way it mirrors child wonder / endless fascination.
Thank you for that note. I appreciate the read.
