    Good morning!
    I love you in the morning
    I love you in the afternoon
    I love you in the evening
    I love you in the night
    I love you every hour of every day
    From dusk to the break of light.

    I await.
    Anticipate.
    Your birth,
    onto earth.

    Electric.
    Air, static.
    Energy, nervous.

    Your likeness,
    unconceivable.

    Your arrival,
    Incredible.
    Indelible.
    Miracle.

    On my shoulders I will carry you
    As long as I am able to

    But walk, whenever you should
    It will give you strength and do you good

    And run! When that’s what your spirit feels
    Heart racing, lungs bursting, up the steepest of hills

    I will be around if you trip and falter
    Around always until I am no longer

    I love putting sunscreen on my son
    It’s one of my favourite things to get done
    I love getting up real close
    Seeing the wrinkles on his toes

    His eyes closed,
    I like to take my time
    Watch his skin begin to shine
    Shining like his spirit within
    Shine like the aura surrounding him

    Today he asked me if he could 
    Put the sunscreen on all by himself
    I said sure but take care of your eyes
    (The tears later were no surprise)

    Hopefully tomorrow he’ll let me do it
    Fingers crossed there won’t be a fit
    I’ll smother him until he glistens
    There’ll probably be a few “please listen!”’s

    Maybe even end up in a row
    All right! Okay! All done now!

    Ain’t life good?
    All in the nude
    Sitting on the toilet bowl
    Unrolling all the toilet roll…
