Thoughts and Things

Ten Fingers, Ten Toes

5/25/2023

0 Comments

 
Ten fingers, ten toes

let me count the feelings since the moment you came into my world


One. The Ecstasy I felt the day I found out that you were in your mother's womb

Two. Tenderness, when I saw you for the first time that day when you were born

Three. wonderment, the first time I held you in my arms in awe..

Four. Happiness, the day you came home

Five. Proud, as friends and family showered you with love

Six. Excited, when you mustered your first words

Seven. Scared, those nights when the only thing you seemed to want to do was cry

Eight. Overjoyed, with the silly faces or noises that made you laugh

Nine. Exhausted, because my parents were right, parenting it’s a difficult task

Ten. Blessed, for every single second that you have been in my life

Eleven. Astonished, at how little I mind that my own life seems on pause

Twelve. Cautious, checking a thousand times, each night, on you

Thirteen. Trepidation, as I watched the first step you took

Fourteen. Pain, every single time that you got hurt

Fifteen. Hopeful, that your life will be long and mine will too

Sixteen. Resolute, that there is not a thing I wouldn’t do for you

Seventeen. Surprise, that by teaching you about life I learned as much as I taught

Eighteen. Mystified, that your presence in my life could bring so much joy

Nineteen. Impotence, whenever you get sick and I wish I could make you feel better

Twenty. In love, realizing that you will have me counting forever...
