First time... Dear Ella
Today for the first time
Other than in the car, or on the couch, or in our bed
I saw you sleeping...
In person...
In your bed.
I touched your golden hair.
I watched you breathe.
You snuggled your blanket against the world.
Your eyes fluttered under your lids.
It was time for school.
The moment had to end.
But not before...
I saw the most beautiful thing
I have ever seen.
You sleeping
In deep peace
Under my life
In my world
With my love
And yours
Mixed forever.
