| Still My Baby |

his little feet
gently walk down the hall
step step step
he balls his fists
to tap on our door
knock knock knock

his tone sad
my eyes heavy
in this moment he
needs more than a hug
my warmth would dissipate
the darkness of his bedroom

his bright brown eyes
let me know he needs
something more precious
my presence
to be reassured that
he is not alone 

he gets his pillow
favorite stuffed animals
and jumps in our bed
he snuggles into the same spot
where he used to lie
when he was the baby
his feet stretch 

halfway down the bed now
reminding me 
how fleeting these moments
truly are
