Perspective

Time flies as my child tries
And bruises bear witness
To gravity.
Hearts beat strong
-Though for how long?
Breathe my prayers to carry.
Fingers holding, feet flying
Tears not as abundant
As laughter.
Time flies, and hard as I try,
A baby gives way
To a toddler.
Sun shines like big blue eyes,
And I’ll follow him...
-Long as he’ll let me.
Love bears weight,
And being heavily blessed,
Will remember to whom we give glory.
