My Heart is Full
Rocking a sweet baby boy
Soft creaks of the old rocker
Scents of baby soap in his hair
Sweet snuggles and soft skin
Feeling cool breezes drift through open windows
On a fine fall day
Girls giggling in the background
Sweet scents wafting on the breeze
As they make soapballs
Soapballs lined up neatly
Drying in the sunshine and breeze
Whistling of the tea kettle
Cups of hot blueberry tea with honey
Scones with fresh goat cheese and raspberry jam
Crumbs on my new couch
Smiles on all
School books strewn across the kitchen table
Long division, graph paper, maps of Canada,
Mechanical pencils, and big fat pink erasers
A big girl that once was a baby in my arms
So pretty and getting all grown up before my eyes
Sewing machine waiting patiently
Fabric squares being cut
Colorful threads standing in a row
Snaggle tooth grins from a 7 year old girl
Proud of her first sewing project
Excited to sew on the sewing machine
And not by hand because sewing machines are for big girls
Sweet baby boy sleeping in his crib
Tiny eyelashes closed and fluttering
With sweet baby dreams
Arms stretched out for the whole world
Soft blanket tucked in tight
My heart is full.
