Little Toes Those little toes And a scrunched up nose Happy bright eyes Giggles that never lie Never gets old playing I spy Wishing I could save the baby smell like a pie Just to keep a slice, take it out whenever I need to remember Thousands of photos capturing sweet moments They all blur together like the daily weather When it feels like the day to day is just the same old play Remember that’s their whole life Gratitude fills their hearts with delight Their fingers curled around your pointer Feet off the ground, hoping to be held a little longer Remind yourself this day will pass, remember this moment like it’s the last Cliche won’t cut it, every moment is too sweet Bake cookies, make a mess, let flour rain the kitchen that was once neat The days when the house is quiet are all too soon to be Deep breaths today for all that is now, is all we can really see Enjoy the stillness, enjoy the pain Thankful for health, safety, togetherness in your lane Soon they’ll switch lanes, you may not be ready But you can always be their steady Tomorrow is coming Breathe in the fresh air They’ll know that you will always be there
