Slow Down

A loving reminder...

Let me linger for a moment

while you sleep upon my shoulder,

for it won't be many days

until I find that you are older,

and I'll have to run to catch you

just to hold you on my lap.

What a rich and fleeting pleasure

just to hold you as you nap.

For Jeremy, with love, from Mama

How precious are those days, all of them, so don't be in a hurry. They are memories before you know it. Just remember to breathe it all in. Laundry, dusting, meals, washing dishes...all important, but nothing compares to lovin' those babies.
