When I carry you
                to your crib

with your hand on my shoulder

        I experience a perfect
                        moment in time.
 

When I follow
                as you crawl upstairs

chasing a cat
                with mad abandon

there isn't anywhere
                        that I'd rather be.

I watch you play
                with your Dad

as you yell with delight

        and know that for

                        a brief instant

I have the best possible life.
