he sleeps

May 1st 2017

he sleeps

smelling like today’s strawberries

snoring between mommy and daddy

I am at the edge of the bed

still, he inches closer, happily mashed into my side

one minute, absolute peace in his body and face, arms flung out to the side, demanding his space

the next, one hand on my arm, the other, a thumb in his mouth, his breath on my face

and on this special night when I can not sleep

I watch him in love and awe

shall I roll him back to the middle of the bed?

I smile knowing that he will only inch closer once again…

he opens his eyes but for a moment

and then they close once more

a small bundle of potential and possibility

my heart

my joy

enjoy your sleep little one

Mama is watching over you.
