Holding On
The last months being a mother of one
I am aware
that every second
is being counted down
and cared for.
I am noticing
all the small things
the tiny details
that I may have not seen before
because life felt busy, life felt noisy.
I am grasping
to hold onto the moments
that are left for just the two of us
before they become shared
and my heart
must expand again
even bigger
than it already is.
I am breathing in
your scent, deeply and intentionally
the grounding love
that keeps my feet
tethered to the ground.
I am hoping
and holding
onto this life
of just you and I
in my heart
in my bones
in my blood
in every breath
I exhale.
