I pause the day to hold you

Your small body

That has never known excess

Only devotion

Ten years of the same quiet loyalty

Of returning to me

Without question

Without distance

You have so little to give

A small voice

A fragile frame

A life that asks for almost nothing

And still

You love me

With something that feels immense

It humbles me

The way you choose me again

And again

As if I have always been enough

I hold you

Not because you need me

But because

I need to remember

How love can be this simple

This faithful

This complete

•

Happy 10th

Sweet boy, of mine
