You cuddle up to me in your sleep, comforted by mother warmth
What do you dream little man, my child full of wonder
You exhaust me by day and then enthrall me at your time of sleeping
Always asking for more, lifting my soul and life
Every day is an adventure for us
As I discover the world in and through your eyes

I wrote this poem when my sons were much much younger….they are both adults now!
Those toddler days are exhaustingly beautiful!

A beautiful poem and one that took me back a decade or so to when my own kids were bumping into furniture. Thank you, as always, for putting words to these emotions.
