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... Nestor Gomez 5/25/17
