at night when he’s in my arms
after bath
books
and bottle
i sit holding him
rocking
back and forth
to and fro
listening to him breathe
as the rhythm
seeps into my skin
permeates my heart
melts my soul
and takes weight
off of me
out of my life
and makes all things right
even if it is
just for a little while.

I know how this feels..it’s the greatest thing in the world. Makes me feel like it’s the reason I am here. You captured it very well here. Now, I miss the baby days..
aww. happy dad.
That was me, 22 years ago. I still hug his 6 ft frame-always my boy!
This is inspiring and so uplifting to read.
that right there is one of the reasons i want a child even at my young age. i want that unconditional love… that joy of comforting such a small weakless thing in a vast world…. im glad you have experienced such a life so far!
aaauuw..this is so sweet~ he is one of the luckies baby in the world ^___^
Kids put things into perspective, for sure. I’m glad you’re enjoying him so much.
