The heart in me

It started with them

My how, what, when.

My new beginning

A life worth everything.

And they have me

Completely.

I’m held from head to toe

By love only we know.

I watch them sleep

Playing at my feet.

I have them close

We see each other most.

It will change one day

I’m aware.

Too quickly too

I fear.

I just hope they know

After they grow,

The life I’ll always see

And what they gave me,

A home that moves

A love that can’t lose.

A purpose to share

A forever to wear.

And I need them to know

Even though,

I didn’t come close to perfect

Many boxes unchecked,

They made my days

In every which way.

And they’ll always hold a key

To the heart in me.
