These little fingers
on his little hand
gripping mine
to say hello
Makes me realize
how love can
Create and grow
Helps me understand
what I need to know
That life is precious
And shouldn't be rushed
My own mortality as contrast
to his new life
I'm definitely not in any rush
When my cries for comfort
For food
For a warm hand
patting my ***
And cooing me to sleep
Are so similar to his.
I provide what I can
Because I understand
And I know what he needs.
Two days of life
and a lifetime of lessons
I wish him better luck than me.
And will do what I must
So he can live a more robust
Life than me.
