Before the adventures of a new day

I

Climb

step by step

the staircase higher

Towards  your little room

Drowsy confusion, son of his mom

The morning light attacks your face,

Dive back into the

Mattress.

Little hands protect your eyes

Crawl…reach up…up…

searching mine

Fishing down,

Touch,

then lift-off                                  in the air.

 

Cheek by cheek we walk down

Your head resting on my shoulder

A short moment to treasure

Your baby softness to capture

with all my senses 

in my mind for the rest of the day.

“Dada baaaaah?”

Your eyes start looking around

Glittering with excitement

For the adventures of the new day.
