mind out of focus
lost in words
sometimes syllables are even lost
yet when I look in his eyes
we connect
he is soaking up love
you see his deepest need
it is exposed
what a beautiful side to see
he held my hand so tightly today
as if to say
"I am not going anywhere"
and
"please don't leave"
I believe children arrive connected to God
today I saw him
connect that same way
like they were resting in each others arms
'I saw him come so close to God
I saw God come so close to him'
I have seen this before
so I watched for it
and when he was close
I listened to every rambling word
a bit of heaven
resting in each word
like the dna of each word was a puffy cloud
I am paying attention
it is the purest love
between father and daughter
I am feeling it all
wide open
here I am dad
thank you for letting me be affectionate with you today
I know it calms you
helps you rest
I love you
I am learning to let you go
